Buffalo Creek Revisited – Sample
Buffalo Creek Revisited – Sample Video
Filmed 10 years after the deadly flood in 1972, the film looks at the second disaster on Buffalo Creek, in which survivors' efforts to rebuild the communities shattered by the flood are thwarted by government insensitivity and a century-old pattern of corporate control of the region's land and resources. The film explores the psychology of disaster, the value of community, and the paradox of a poor people living in a rich land. Directed by Mimi Pickering. The full film is available on DVD from Appalshop, Whitesburg, KY
