SitemapActivists and leaders eager to revitalize Youngstown are portrayed in a new documentary film as low-key heroes fighting for the future of a city they love.
“The Place That Makes Us,’' directed by Karla Murthy, debuts tonight at 8 p.m. on WORLD Channel and streams on worldchannel.org. The 69-minute film can also be streamed on the American Documentary, Inc. site, amdoc.org, LinkTV.org, PBS.org and on the PBS app.\
The documentary gives viewers an intimate look at the house-by-house battle waged by members of the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation to salvage portions of a Northeast Ohio city hollowed out by white flight, sprawl, and globalization that killed much of its job base decades ago.
