Greyland
Youngstown has been held up as a symbol of post-industrial decline not only in the United States, but in the modern world. And if it can happen in the land of opportunity, it can happen anywhere. Greyland follows Rocco and Amber’s search for meaning and hope amid economic decline and a political landscape out of synch with the needs of its community.
Should Rocco and Amber continue to fight for their city or flee like thousands before them? ¨Leave if you want to leave,” says Rocco, “but don’t turn it into something it’s not.” Question is, without change, can the community of Youngstown continue to satisfy anyone? What can grow back in a land burnt to the ground?
This screening is FREE thanks to a sponsorship from the Fort Wayne Media Collaborative.
The Media Collaborative will lead a post-film discussion with the film director and local stakeholders.
