Rising Documentary

RISING, a documentary from Team Kentucky, tells the story of the strength and resilience of Eastern Kentuckians as they undertake the most ambitious rebuilding effort in the nation following the historic flooding that took place in the summer of 2022. From devastation to hope, this story chronicles how an idea became a reality as state, federal, and local partners work to build survivors new homes on abandoned coal mine sites – out of the floodplains and protected from future floods. RISING shows the world what is possible and proves that, by working together, we can rise above any challenge.  The Calloway County Tourism Commission and Calloway County Public Library have partnered to present a free public screening on Saturday, February 21, at 10:00 a.m. at the library.  Light refreshments will be served.
