Dark clouds hang over the cornfields of Storm Lake, Iowa, which has seen its fair share of change in the 40 years since Big Agriculture came to town. Migrant workers flock to the area – welcome and not – for their slice of the American Dream. The people of Storm Lake confront a changing community as global forces threaten their precarious existence. But fear not. Still fighting the good fight is 63-year-old Pulitzer-prize winner Art Cullen and his family-run newspaper, The Storm Lake Times. Day in and day out, the Cullens deliver local news and biting editorials on a shoestring budget for their 3,000 readers. Come hell or pandemic, they’ll fight to preserve — and cover — this town they call home. There’s simply too much at stake.
