From Nick Delmenico:
The producers of the Pawtucket Film Festival and the City of Pawtucket are excited to announce that a documentary which premiered at last September's Ninth Annual Pawtucket Film Festival will be airing on Rhode Island PBS. "Pawtucket Rising*. In fact,that's the name of the new documentary by local filmmaker Jason Caminiti about the historic city's renaissance. WSBE Rhode Island PBS will air the film on Saturday, January 24 at 7 PM on channel 36,digital 36.1, Dish 7776, DirecTV 36, and on cable channel 8 in RI. Massachusetts cable subscribers should check their cable listings for the localchannel number).
The documentary profiles the birth and evolution of Pawtucket's arts
district through adaptive reuse of empty century-old factory buildings as
an engine of economic revival. What Caminiti found in Pawtucket was a great story with a greater lesson: cities past their manufacturing prime can flourish and grow in new directions - if elected officials sincerely support the effort and collaborate with leaders in the community.
This is not an RIFC Production
