Meg Griffiths, filmmaker and UT Journalism and Media alumna, returns to UT to screen and discuss her acclaimed documentary, Impossible Town.
Synopsis
When her father dies unexpectedly, Dr. Ayne Amjad is thrust to the helm of a decades-long struggle to aid Minden, a southern West Virginia town beset by cancer-causing chemicals. Haunted by her father’s mandate to “help others,” Ayne hatches an audacious plan to relocate the town and bring closure to her father’s work.
Screening will be followed by Q and A with directors, Meg Griffiths and Scott Faris, and will be moderated by UT School of Journalism and Media Associate Professor, Donna DeCesare.
