Dadetown

Williamsburg

A 1995 documentary that drops you into an upstate New York factory town as the paper clip plant closes and a tech company moves in. Director Russ Hexter captures the collision of old and new economies through candid interviews with townsfolk and yuppie arrivals, asking questions about work, displacement, and who gets left behind. Tragically, Hexter died at 27 shortly after the film's Sundance premiere.
