Forks Branch Library

Jim and Nikki Klahn Community Meeting Room

Watch the 1981 documentary that offers a glimpse into the lives of local sawmill workers.

Join us for a compelling screening of "Cuts," a 38-minute documentary filmed by Charles Gustafson, that offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of sawmill workers in Forks, WA.

Filmed at the twilight of timber's dominance in the Northwest, this 1981 documentary delivers a gripping observation of the hardscrabble individuals who dedicated their lives to well-compensated yet perilous jobs in the region's sawmills. Don't miss this chance to appreciate the stories of those who shaped the timber industry.

After the documentary, attendees will have the opportunity to interact and participate in a discussion.

This event is generously supported in part by Friends of Forks Library.

Heritage Days Screening of "Cuts" is also offered at the Clallam Bay Branch Library on Wednesday, October 1, 6:00-7:30pm.
