Summary
When a proposed multinational coal-fired cement plant threatens to change the character and possibly generate environmental waste to the small city of Hudson, N.Y., its citizens are galvanized into action. Hudson is like many small cities and towns across America; its industries have declined, it needs to adapt, but it wants to maintain its character. In addition to these concerns, the film also asks how the global economy is affecting our communities. Can a traditional small town main street with mom and pop stores be viable in the 21st century, when big box stores on the outskirts of town compete with local business? How can the community mediate the different interest groups? Can idealistic goals drive real political change? Two Square Miles is a window onto the rapidly changing fabric of American communities nationwide. It provides a unique opportunity to see up close the workings of local democracy.
