Needed stories of rural despair
This Ghost Town(ing) season dives deep into the causes of rural despair, and I loved hearing all of these stories. Like the one about Melodie’s family friend Gabby, a veteran who had a mental breakdown that threatened the safety of the community. Hearing about food insecurity in small towns, learning stories that are hidden from the history books i.e. how some towns were wiped out intentionally to expel the minority groups who built them. Ultimately, we discover how valuable small towns are as templates of democracy: how it works, how it fails, and how it can be rebuilt.
