LIBBY, MONTANA

116 minDVCAM2007

“LIBBY, MONTANA begins with a casual mini tour through the small town of around 2600 residents. It looks like a nice place, and it's certainly breathtakingly gorgeous. But there's a horrifying story here--a tale of corporate greed and deceit that left a legacy of death and disease for Libby's inhabitants.”

“Even as we documented the history of the town and the clean-up efforts, the story of Libby took on a larger life as Congress was forced to consider what to do about the millions of homes and other buildings in the U.S. filled with vermiculite from Libby,”

Missoulian

“For seventy years Libby was home to a large vermiculite mine. The ore was later found to contain asbestos and eventually the mine was shutdown in 1990. But that's just the beginning.”

California Gazette

“Powerful.”
