STORM LAKE

NYC PREMIERE Filmmakers Jerry Risius and Beth Levison celebrate the vitality of local journalism as it undergoes a crisis with this portrait of a small-town Iowa paper, The Storm Lake Times. Editor Art Cullen oversees the family-run business that was recognized with a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on dark money in corporate agriculture. “Storm Lake is an elegiac heartland portrait…colored by the hope of endurance, both for the newspaper and the community it represents” (The Hollywood Reporter). – Thom Powers
