The Waterbury Historical Society is excited to host the premiere of a historical documentary film about Waterbury, entitled "The Community at the Crossroads: Memories of the Events that Shaped Waterbury. The premiere will take place at 2pm on May 14 in the Steele Community Room at the Waterbury Municipal Complex. Refreshments and a conversation with some of the production team will follow the screening.

Senator Bill Doyle's "Vermont History and Government" class at Johnson State College collaborated with Vince Franke, of Peregrine Productions in Waterbury, to produce this 35-minute documentary. More than two dozen Waterbury residents, all of whom grew up locally, were interviewed for the film. The film is a combination of stories recounted by these residents and more than 200 photographs shared by the Historical Society.

The event is free and open to the public. Johnson State College will send free copies to all the schools and libraries in the Waterbury area, while residents can purchase a DVD copy of the film at the premiere event for $10. All proceeds benefit Waterbury Historical Society programming.
