I have researched the events in Centralia for over 11 years... this is a story that must be told about Wesley and his friends, the IWW, Wobbies. and find justice.
"Ghost of Hangman's Bridge" - Historical Drama
"NW Massacre: A Centralia Story - Documentary told by people of Centralia and their families.
Going to take about $165 million to make these films...

All Americans should know the story of Wesley Everest. Everest's story is told in John Dos Passos' trilogy 'USA' and in Greil Marcus's more recent book 'The Shape of Things to Come'. IWW forever!
