Description

"Alaska politics and folklore often collide on the edge of the wild. But, it is more than a mystery when an outbreak crashes down at the intersection of civilation and the wilderness in the stunnng Matanuska-Susitna region of Southcentral Alaska. Abruptly, the world's media spotlight begins to shine on the locals and their unique lifestyles. Heightened scrutiny reveals the buzz of both madness and sanity. Set in the small Alaskan towns of Palmer, Wasilla, and Moose Cross, 'Alaska's Heavy Light' tells the universal 'little story' about local people, politics, and place. Mountains and media are essential characters in this story. Community chaos, conflict, and commentary unravel as the crazy, local political theater dramatizes the personal face of disaster."
