I grew up in Cass Lake, Minnesota, on ground that's now a Superfund site. In the early 2000s I picked up a camera and started collecting the stories of the people it affected, because I didn't want their stories and memories to die prematurely with them.

Killing Cass Lake
For fifty years, a company treated utility poles in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Cass Lake. Hunterbrook Media's new documentary tells that story, using footage I've shot there since the early 2000s.
