Overview

In Kimball, Nebraska, downtown storefronts have been gutted by Amazon, pigeons roost in an abandoned gymnasium and the skeletons of burned out cars rest near the railroad tracks. Last Days of August paints a stark picture of prairie towns succumbing to what one Bible-quoting resident says is “a lack of love.” Blurring the lines between still photography and cinema, this haunting film asks: what would be the cost of a miracle to bring the town back from the dead?
