The Arts Council presents the 2nd film in the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers-The Only Doctor.

Screening will be Monday, October 16th at 7:00 PM in the Kress Theatre on the Hearn Stage.

The Only Doctor tells a contemporary story of rural healthcare in the United States as it centers on Dr. Karen Kinsell, who for nearly 20 years has been the only doctor in a Southwest Georgia county.

The film begins when Dr. Kinsell comes to the realization that she can no longer afford to full-time volunteer as the only doctor in rural Clay County, Georgia. But ever committed to her community, she looks to forge a partnership with a medical university in order to keep her clinic open. After several options, a possibility emerges and so does disappointment. Then the pandemic creates new challenges, but also opportunities and new decisions.

Director, Matthew Hashiguchi, will join us for the screening and for some discussion afterward.

Tickets are $10 for Adults and free for all students. Tickets at the door.
