Thank you for publicizing this film series. I might not have known about it, but for Keweenaw Now. Once again, proving what a very valuable resource this website is for us all here in the Keweenaw.
The film was definitely worth seeing. I learned some things about Rio Tinto that I didn't know before. And the discussion afterwards was critically important.
I'm looking forward to attending the rest of the film events. Kudos to Jessica Koski and the KBIC for sponsoring this series.
