A video honoring the days gone by in Henry River Mill Village, North Carolina. The now abandoned town which recently served as a set for the upcoming Hunger Games movie is filled with memories and blackberries and serves as an important piece of the history of the textile industry. Photographs have been contributed by some of the many families that resided in the village. Overlaying the photographs, Nicole Hefner Callihan reads an excerpt from a forthcoming book while co-author Ruby Young Keller offers her memories of growing up "on the hill". The book will be available from Arcadia Press in the spring of 2012.
