Kill the Old Torture Their Young

A Midwest Premiere
By David Harrower, directed by Kathryn Walsh

A lauded documentary filmmaker returns to his hometown to make a film about the city and its inhabitants' lives – a film to put them back on the map. But the people have routines to keep, emotional barriers to maintain, and rote pleasantries to exchange, all designed to protect the lives they've scraped together. The question: is there any existence here worth documenting?
