On-campus screening of the award winning documentary Storm Lake. Screening will be followed by a Q&A with documentary subject and UNI alumnus, Tom Cullen (Economics, ‘17). Open to the public.
Short synopsis of Storm Lake: Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Art Cullen and his family fight to unite and inform their rural Iowan farming community through their biweekly newspaper, The Storm Lake Times — even as the paper hangs on by a thread. Twice a week, they work as civic watchdogs to protect their hometown and the legacy of credible journalism, at large.
