About the film
American democracy requires an informed citizenry. Can it survive without the backbone of independent local journalism?
Go inside The Storm Lake Times, a newspaper serving an Iowa town which has seen its fair share of changes in the 40 years since Big Agriculture came to the area. In Storm Lake, Pulitzer-winning editor Art Cullen and his family dedicate themselves to keeping the paper alive—come hell or pandemic.
