From the Shadow of the Stacks

East Helena is a smelter town to its core, but after well over a century of smelting, it has also become a Superfund cleanup site. As the town continues to grow and expand, health officials fight to clean up high levels of lead found in the ground and water and the community searches for a new identity without the smelter.
