The first official trailer for a documentary film titled Storm Lake is out and this one is a gut-wrenching drama based on struggle of Newspapers to survive during pandemic.

Helmed by Jerry Risius and Beth Levison, the film profiles the tough times and outstanding journalism of a small town newspaper called The Storm Lake Times, based in Storm Lake, Iowa (see Google Maps), near to Sioux City.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Art Cullen and his family fight to unite and inform their Iowan farming community through their biweekly newspaper, The Storm Lake Times — come hell or pandemic.

The film will world premiere at 24th Annual Full Frame Documentary Film Festival this month, then heads to AFI Docs for its DC premiere, DOC EDGE for its international premiere, as well as other top festivals this year.

Bankrolled by Beth Levison and featuring an original score by Andrew Bird with Alan Hampton, this will be premiering at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival this summer, then stopping by the AFI Docs Film Festival in Washington DC.
