Movies at The Mill: Small Town Universe | Appalachian Forest Discovery Center
June 25 @ 6:30 pm
Award-winning film, Small Town Universe, is kicking off this year’s Movies at The Mill season! Join us for a FREE screening of a movie that gives an inside look into life in Green Bank, West Virginia—a place home to the world’s most sensitive radio telescope and the only U.S. town where Wi-Fi and cell phones are banned.
Directed by Katie Dellamaggiore (SXSW Audience Award Winner Brooklyn Castle), and set in Green Bank, WV, where life unfolds in the quiet zone of the world’s largest steerable radio telescope. The film traces the telescope’s history and role in the search for extraterrestrial life, the STEM opportunities it offers rural students, and the community’s fight to protect it when funding is threatened.
