SUN 10:30am - "Middletown"

Documentary/USA/ 110m

Directed by: 

Inspired by an unconventional teacher, a group of teenagers in upstate New York make a film that uncovers a vast conspiracy that is poisoning the ground beneath their feet. Banding together to confront the indifferent adults, corrupt politicians and a violent criminal organization threatening their small town, they produce an investigative documentary that causes shockwaves in their community. Middletown is a coming-of-age story featuring hundreds of hours of candid, humorous and nostalgic video outtakes and the cooperation of Fred Isseks and his intrepid students as they reckon, thirty years later, with a defining event in their lives and a remarkable journey of civic courage.
