Awhile back we wrote about the documentary, “Libby, Montana” that aired on PBS. Since then, the documentary has garnered rave reviews for its intimacy, perception, sense of humor and mostly, for the genuine voice it gives the people of Libby. The documentary is now in the running for an Emmy in the “Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story—Long Form” category.

The film, made in 2004 by High Plains Films’ Doug Hawes Davis and Drury Gunn Carr is about the town that was brought to its knees by asbestos poisoning and then embroiled in the battles with W.R. Grace Corporation and the EPA that followed.
