Synopsis by Maggie Sadler
Documentary filmmaker Sierra Pettengill offers a raw, incisive look at an experimental government initiative known as Riotsville, a fictional town constructed by the United States military and peopled by its personnel in the late 1960s. The narrative interrogates aggressive militarization in the United States as a response to the civilian right to protest. The documentary features the voice of Charlene Modeste as the narrator.
