BOOMTOWN is a powerful docudrama inspired by true events — when a band of unlikely rebels in 1970s Frederick, Maryland ignited a cultural revolution that saved their sinking town and sparked a renaissance of creativity. 50 years later, in 2025, Lexi Brown—a bold college student with deep local roots—returns to uncover the newspaper archives of her late father Amos, the first Black Chief of Photography at the Frederick News-Post. As she pieces together the past, she discovers that the spark that once saved a city might be exactly what’s needed to save the future.

Join us for a community screening & post-film discussion of Boomtown, in Hood College's Hodson Auditorium (located inside Rosenstock Hall). Doors open at 3 pm; free parking available on campus and on surrounding streets.
