How to keep your hometown from becoming a ghost town | John Paget

"My very first film was about a town that disappeared," says documentarian John Paget.

From the closure of the iconic Route 66 to the roller-coaster history of Buffalo, New York, Paget reveals the power of sharing your town's "civic story" to spark local revitalization.
