SUMMARY:RISING ABOVE HELENE: WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S JOURNEY TO RECOVERY @ The Chelsea
DESCRIPTION:Carrboro Film Fest is proud to present Rising Above Helene: Western North Carolina’s Journey to Recovery\, a feature documentary film by NC native filmmaker\, Chris Baucom. On September 27\, 2024\, Hurricane Helene swept through the mountains of Western North Carolina\, unleashing devastating floods that reshaped both the landscape and the lives of those who call it home. Through heartfelt interviews\, sweeping visuals\, and on-the-ground storytelling\, the film captures the quiet determination of neighbors who came together to rebuild what was broken. Across the counties of Western North Carolina\, we see the resilience that defines these mountain communities where rivers may rise\, but the people rise higher. \nJoin us for a pre-festival kickoff screening at the Chelsea Theater as well as a Q&A with the director. \nCarrboro Film Fest\, celebrating its 20th year\, runs January 23-25\, 2026 at the new Drakeford Library Complex in downtown Carrboro\, NC. \nJanuary\, 12th @ 7PM \nFilm Runtime: 63min\nProgram Runtime: 120min \n\n\n	Related
