A statewide film series celebrating racial justice actions in rural Kentucky.

The Rural-Urban Solidarity Project is a film series documenting the widespread racial justice actions of rural Kentuckians in response to the killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, and celebrating the legacy of Black Kentuckians across the state. With films from Covington, Harlan, Murray, and Paducah, the project hopes to uplift these stories and inspire greater connection, solidarity, and interdependence across generations + institutions in Kentucky. The films were premiered on August 5, 2023, in Covington, Harlan County, and Paducah, and a virtual premiere was held on August 8, 2023.
