Overview

When the paper mill that defined Canton, North Carolina, announced its sudden closure, a century of identity vanished in 90 days. Filmed in real time, this is a raw look at a town blindsided by corporate silence and suspicious profit. As shock turns to anger, the people of Canton must navigate the wreckage of an industry that shaped their past and now threatens their future. Papertown is a testament to community resilience in the face of uncertainty and a world in transition.
