Copper Town tells the story of a broken family returning to a dying mining town. One generation trying to forget. As the land is bought out and the legacy fades, the characters are forced to face what's been left unsaid for too long.
WHY THIS FILM MATTERS:
When culture and preservation becomes emotional survival, families and communities become silent survivors of long lost legacies. Long after their towns have been forgotten.
STATISTICS:
61% of small towns have experienced a population decrease since 2010 while 82% of larger cities have seen growth.
Approximately 220,000 evictions are filed annually in rural counties.
SUPPORT THE FILM:
Preserve the emotional and cultural truth of forgotten towns.
Raise Awareness of the psychological cost of displacement.
Tell a story that speaks to anyone who has ever watched their home fade away.
