Mill Dues: A Strop City Story is a mixed-media documentary about a small town in northern Louisiana and its long history with labor intensive industries.  Told from the lens of the filmmaker’s family oral histories and aided by a magic realist aesthetic, the film will take an extended glance at a little-known town in the South to unearth a greater story about deindustrialization and underdevelopment in the U.S. and the ways it impacts communities’ culture, class, and health.  Keep an eye on the progress of this personal and important project at millduesproject.wordpress.com
