Small Town Mountain Strong

The Documentary

After Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, five small towns struggle to rebuild, facing not only the wreckage
of their homes but the collapse of their livelihoods. As businesses struggle to reopen, farms fight to stay afloat and tourism vanishes,
survival means more than just recovery—it’s a battle to preserve a way of life.

Against the odds, these communities lean on faith, resilience and the Appalachian tradition of hard work and taking care of their own.
But in a world that has moved on without them, will it be enough to rebuild what was lost?
