Many towns in Maine hit hard times in the past few decades, often after a mill shut down. But some of these towns are now finding ways to grow and revitalize. A new film, "Resilience," highlights three towns that are turning things around. We'll hear from some local leaders about how they are bringing new life to old towns. The documentary "Resilience" airs on Maine Public Television March 28 and also at a Maine Public film screeningat Somerset Abbey in Madison on March 28 at 7 pm, followed by a panel discussion.
