The Price of Silver
Filmmaker Daniel Jesse revives a ghost town to share the wealth. Steeped in western mining history, this documentary pays homage to Silver City, Utah — a reverent nod to the 1,500 people, like the legendary Jesse Knight, who made up the thread work of its past. Once a silver mining boomtown founded in 1869, the film gives the first in-depth historical look at what eventually gave way to progress and abandonment in 1940. Now available on DVD.
