The community is invited to a free public screening of Not Alone, a new local documentary that explores how personal stories of loss, resilience, and hope can unite a community.

Created through a collaboration between Eighty Twenty Studio, The Children’s Foundation, and Chandy Davis, Not Alone tells the story of Autumn and Sarah—two young women who discover a profound connection during a chance encounter. Though their life experiences differ, both have endured deep childhood loss. Through their honest and courageous storytelling, the film reveals the universal power of shared struggles and the strength we can find in one another.
In their own words, the film participants shared: “My pain from my past makes my future brighter,” said Sarah Walker. Autumn Clarke said, “I’m excited to see where my journey leads me. This is just the beginning.”
