Alaska Far Away

Amid the despair of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal gave 200 struggling Midwestern farm families - including from Carlton County - an extraordinary opportunity: the chance to start over on the Alaskan frontier."Alaska Far Away" tells the story of this bold government experiment, and the families who found themselves thrust into the national spotlight along the way.
FIlmmaker Joan Juster will be present at the screening, which is sponsored by the Cloquet Public Library.
