The Flatwater Free Press is Nebraska's first independent, nonprofit newsroom focused on investigations and feature stories that matter. This film is presented as part of the annual Flatwater Festival celebration of Nebraska journalism.
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—come hell or pandemic.
