An incisive and unrelenting portrayal of a small northern mining town’s codependent and ultimately tragic 40-year relationship with the W.R. Grace company that sustained it. Nestled below the rugged peaks of the Northern Rockies and along the crystal-clear Kootenai River lies the small town of Libby, Montana – a town where many hundreds of people are sick or already have died from asbestos exposure. The Environmental Protection Agency calls Libby the worst case of community-wide exposure to a toxic substance in U.S. history. “Libby, Montana” is a journey into the world of a hard-working, blue-collar community that exemplifies the American Dream gone horribly wrong.
