"Hearts of Glass" follows the tumultuous first 15 months of operation of Vertical Harvest (VH) of Jackson, Wyoming, a state-of-the-art hydroponic greenhouse that provides meaningful employment for people with disabilities.

Plants and people grow together in this intimate portrait of innovation, inclusion and community.
