Film Champions the Cause of the Unemployed

11.09.2009 – In October, the U.S. Department of Labor stated that the unemployment rate rose to 10.2 percent, the highest since April 1983. In this time of uncertainty people need to know that their struggle is not forgotten and that there is still hope. One film company, Either/or Films, is doing exactly that with their next film, Someplace Like America. The film is slated for production in Spring 2010.

The film, Someplace Like America, is a series of interconnected episodes in the lives of various contemporary characters, dramatizing the painful repercussions of economic hard times caused by the collapse of New Hampshire’s paper industry.
