Movie on TVA at IMAX in Chattanooga
The Documentary Channel will present "Built for the People” - the story of the Tennessee Valley and TVA - at Chattanooga’s IMAX Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at 6 and 8 p.m. The public is invited to see the film on the big screen for free before it is shown on The Documentary Channel later this fall.
Created by Academy Award-nominated directors Sean and Andrea Nix Fine, “Built for the People” takes viewers on an epic journey from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s signing of the TVA Act in 1933 to the impact of TVA on the lives of people across the Tennessee Valley today. They'll experience the transformation of the 41,000-square-mile river system that once ravaged the Tennessee Valley, rendering it virtually uninhabitable, into one of the most prosperous and desirable places to live in the nation today. Organizers say “Built for the People” is a must-see movie for anyone who lives in the Tennessee Valley.

WHEN: Tuesday, Oct. 7
WHERE: IMAX Theatre, downtown Chattanooga
TIME: 6 and 8 p.m.
WHAT: Free public showings of the film
