Plot
A documentary that paints a remarkable picture of America and how the rise of civic and economic reinvention is transforming small cities and towns across the country.
Sinekatalog’s take
A portrait of small American cities and towns reinventing themselves through civic and economic effort. The documentary is hopeful, measured and grounded in local voices. Good viewing for anyone interested in community life and the shape of the country outside the big metropolises.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
