Libby, Montana is a journey into the world of a hard-working, blue-collar community that exemplifies the American Dream gone horribly wrong.

Nestled below the rugged peaks of the Northern Rockies and along the crystal-clear Kootenai River, lies the small town of Libby, Montana - an ironic setting for a town where many hundreds of people are sick or have already died from asbestos exposure. The Environmental Protection Agency calls Libby the worst case of community-wide exposure to a toxic substance in U.S. history.

As residents see their family members and friends contract deadly diseases, the company responsible for the toxic mess leaves town and declares bankruptcy. A small, unlikely group of citizens comes together to fight for their town. They find themselves at odds with local politicians, the state governor, senators, an international corporation, and even their own friends and neighbors. Some prominent town residents claim the issue has been blown out of proportion by a zealous few and a young charismatic federal bureaucrat in charge of clean-up. Emotions fly and solutions are hard to find in this disturbing, yet strangely humorous true drama.
