REVIVING THE FREEDOM MILL
ABOUT
When environmentalist Tony Grassi takes a crazy gamble to rehab an abandoned Mill, he inspires both skepticism and hope that its revived bond with the river will breath new life into the rural town of Freedom, Maine. With the help of a colorful team of builders, masons, engineers and architects, he sets out to reconstruct a forgotten historic treasure. Can his 21st century vision of conservation re-power this community, and others, who are now welcoming a new generation of young farmers? This film features dozens of well-known Mainers: Jay Fischer, John Piotti, Aaron Sturgis, Chris Glass, Laurie Redmond, Roy Ward, Bob Coutourier, Irving Tyler, Wilson Hess, and Clayton Wentworth, among others!
