This 1987 drama is set in a small Scandinavian town in northern Minnesota. The death of an eccentric old woman stirs this small town’s curiosity of a possible hidden fortune. But as Mary Graving, played by Pamela Reed as a small town reporter, digs deeper for the truth, she uncovers a better understanding of her own place in the community and of the powerful bonds connecting her to those around her. The Hollywood Reporter described it as “a sparkling glimpse into the resilience of the human spirit”. The screenplay was written by Judith Guest (“Ordinary People”) and features outstanding performances by Tacoma native Reed (“Kindergarten Cop”, “The Right Stuff”, and currently in “Parks and Recreation”) Vivica Lindfors, Zelkjo Ivanek (“24”) and Craig T. Nelson (“Parenthood”).

Right outside Atlanta, Georgia is a small charter school that brings together refugee children from war-torn countries all over the world and teaches them alongside local American children. A Place in the World follows three families with ties to the school, a first year teacher, and the principal of the school over the course of two years as they adapt to and learn from this diverse and complex social environment. The film asks the question of how we can learn to live together in this rapidly changing world.
