Rochester Native's Film Shows the Power of One to Make a Difference

The Traverse City Film Festival screened “Divide In Concord,” a documentary by Rochester native Kris Kaczor focused on the fight to end the sale of bottled water in Concord, MA.

Kaczor decided to make the film after reading an article in The New York Times about a Massachusetts woman fighting to end the sale of water bottles in Concord, The Oakland Press reports.

“The story of fiery octogenarian would have been lost by history,” Kaczor said.

The festival runs through Aug. 3 and Kaczor is working to establish distribution and the films release date.

Moore found the film, which took two years to complete, intriguing because it shows the power of one person, Kaczor said.

“We never pushed one side or the other, the town was definitely divided,” Kaczor said.

Kaczor attended Rochester High School, Michigan State University and also studied at the Motion Picture Institute of Michigan.
