The festival is one of the most prestigious in the Northwest, featuring more than 300 films representing 40 different countries. 

Portland area Farmers agents attended the event, handing out free copies of the documentary and the accompanying lesson plan to local educators in attendance. Since the film's release in March, Second to None has been distributed to more than 20,000 schools throughout Farmers territory, reaching more than 600,000 students in less than six months. 

"In these hard economic times, it's especially challenging for schools to update their curriculum and educational programs," says Erin McCulloch, Lake Oswego, Ore. "I'm honored to represent an organization that prioritizes giving back to our communities and schools with these award-winning programs."
