Oregon Reads Film Series - CLEAR CUT (Sat,Apr 4th) - March 29, 2009
|
|
The acclaimed documentary film, Clear Cut: The Story of Philomath Oregon, will be shown at the Baker County Public Library on April 4th at 6pm.
Filmmaker Peter Richardson shows how a small Oregon logging town became the battleground for a dramatic culture war when progressive ideas introduced by newcomers ran into opposition from the town's traditional residents. For years, every graduating high-school student in Philomath was assured of a college scholarship endowed by a local lumber baron. However, when a new school superintendent from Chicago introduces some controversial changes, the threat of withdrawing the scholarship is used as a weapon to seek his removal.
