2015 Documentary
USA
Anchorage Is... tells the story of Anchorage from its start as a "tent city" in 1915 to the modern town we call home today. Producers John Larson and Todd Hardesty set out to capture the essence of who we are. A city started by men and women who came to build a railroad and with perseverance and a bit of luck created the economic and transportation capital of Alaska. The documentary includes the earliest known film footage of Anchorage as well as home movies from the 1920's through the 1950's. There's also dramatic film of the aftermath of the great Alaskan earthquake of 1964. The film also showcases the modern Anchorage from the sled dog races along 4th Avenue to F22 "Raptors" roaring from JBER.
