People, Places, Power: Rebuilding Community through Brownfield Revitalization in Paris, KY

Client: Groundwork USA / EPA

An inter-racial and multi-generational group of community residents from Paris, Kentucky work to close down a toxic incinerator and dump and transform the site into something that serves their community. 

We created a 9-minute short film that cinematically and concisely tells this community's story from their perspective while at the same time illuminating the work of Groundwork USA and the role of their Brownfields Technical Assistance Program.
