Synopsis by Augustine Chay
This documentary foregrounds a biweekly, family-run newspaper’s struggle for survival in the small rural town of Storm Lake, Iowa. As local journalism is undermined across the nation, the team perseveres to preserve the democratic power of the Fourth Estate – especially in light of Big Agriculture’s all-too-tangible presence. Directed by Beth Levison and Jerry Risius. Featuring appearances by Jill Biden, Pete Buttigieg, and Julian Castro.
