Factory Town Blues

Back


Crystal City, Missouri is a small town on the Mississippi River struggling with issues of identity, tough economic times, and environmental accountability. The factory that built the town 132 years ago moved out almost twenty years ago, but the residents still talk about it like it happened yesterday. This report was prepared as an entry for the second round of the Project Report journalism contest sponsored by the Pulitzer Center, Sony, & Intel. Visit the Project Report Channel to see all 10 round two entries. http://www.youtube.com/user/projectreport Also, see my round one entry here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK4PRHyIz-M Thanks to all the Crystal City residents who gave so graciously of their time to help me complete this project. The soundtrack is "The Open Plains" from http://www.freeplaymusic.com/ along with the CCHS marching band.
