Church Street in Burlington, Vermont used to mean something. People moved to Vermont and came to Vermont as tourists because of this once unique downtown. This film documents what's become of it, a documentary portrait of a city center struggling under the weight of systemic neglect, unmet social needs, and a public safety crisis that's reshaped daily life on one of New England's most storied pedestrian corridors.
This story isn't sensational. It's personal. Shot with the kind of access and patience that only comes from knowing a place over decades, the work captures something a headline can't: the slow, quiet grief of watching somewhere you love lose its way.
Stories worth telling rarely come easy. If yours has weight to it, reach out and let's figure out how to tell it right.
