Sven Huseby and Barbara Ettinger’s film tracks the conflicts that unfold as a proposed multi-national coal-fired cement plant threatens the small community of Hudson, New York, on the banks of the Hudson River. Hudson’s colorful and passionate citizens fight to save the town’s unique character and its architectural heritage, breathing life into the exercise of local democracy. The film immerses the viewer in an extended observation of life in an American small city (not unlike Montpelier) experiencing rapid transition. Sponsored by Vermont Natural Resources Council. Community Partners: Vermont Public Interest Research Group, Montpelier Community Development Association. Post-film event: directors Sven Huseby and Barbara Ettinger and Hudson community activist Sam Pratt will be present at both screenings. No rating, 93 minutes. Film website
