The movie SILO is coming to Geneseo on February 8, 2024, at 6:30 PM at the Geneseo High School Performing Arts Center. SILO is the first featured film about grain entrapment and is inspired by true events. Disaster strikes an American farm town when a teenage Cody Rose is entrapped in a grain bin. Cody Rose was trapped in a 50-foot-tall grain bin when the corn turned to quicksand. Family, neighbors, and First Responders put aside their differences to rescue Cody from drowning in the corn that has sustained the community for generations.

SILO is the product of an extensive collaboration between city-based filmmakers and the rural American community. The entire creative team spent years working with farmers, fire and rescue workers, and trusted agricultural institutions to ensure an authentic portrayal of the all-too-common danger of grain entrapment. SILO is not just a dramatic reminder of the importance of agricultural safety, but it is also a testament to what communities can accomplish when they work together.
The film screening is sponsored by the Henry County Farm Bureau Health & Safety Committee and Gold Star FS, in conjunction with the Geneseo FFA Chapter.
