Special Screening Of Just A Farmer

September 18, 2025 By Roxane Manley

Parkes Show Society Vice President Michael Hocking pictured with Steve Chester at this year’s Parkes Show. Proceeds from the screening of ‘Just a farmer” will help support the Parkes Show Society.

Parkes Show Society extends an invitation to the community to attend its rescheduled screening of Just A Farmer. Taking place this Friday night, 19 September, at the Parkes Christian School Hall.

A moving and powerful movie that shines a light on the real stories behind life on the land, this film transcends traditional cinema and authentically portrays the challenges and triumphs of a resilient farmer in rural Australia.

In a time when the voices of rural and regional communities can often be over­looked, Just A Farmer gives farmers the spotlight, not just as food producers but as innovators, parents, caretakers of the land and deeply connected members of local communities. This film captures the raw emotion, mental toll and challenges of ruralisolation and the resilience that defines life beyond city limits.

Whether you come from a farming back­ground, or you live and work in a regional area and care about the future of rural Aus­tralia, this special event offers a chance to come together with your community and reflect on what binds us together.

The committee is proud to have organ­ised this event for the community to enjoy.

September is National Suicide Prevention month and this is a great opportunity to get together with family and friends as well as create new connections while sparking meaningful conversations.

Kindly sponsored by Black Dog Institute, tickets are $10 each, with a full range of all your favourite movie snacks and refresh­ments available to purchase.

Tickets are available through 123tix or can be purchased at the door on the night, subject to availability. Bring your friends and family and be a part of this fantastic night of entertainment. Book your ticket now https://www.123tix.com.au/events/49914/parkes-show-just-a-farmer-screening
