The Hello in There Foundation, an initiative established by the family of John Prine to celebrate his legacy and commitment to community care, will host a special preview screening of “If Dreams Were Lightning,” a documentary short that examines the rural healthcare crisis in the Appalachian region through the eyes of those struggling within it and the dedicated doctors trying to reach them.
This one-time event takes place at Nashville’s Belcourt Theatre on Thursday, March 7, at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at Belcourt.org with proceeds benefiting The Health Wagon, a nonprofit featured in the film that provides mobile health care to rural areas. A Q&A panel discussion with film participants, including the physicians who run The Health Wagon, and other special guests will take place immediately following the presentation.
Directed by Oscar and Emmy award-nominated filmmaker Ramin Bahrani, “If Dreams Were Lightning” was shortlisted for a 2024 Academy Award and is scheduled to premiere on PBS’ Independent Lens in early spring.
