“Libby, Montana,” a documentary by two Missoula filmmakers about the town that was brought to its knees by asbestos poisoning and then embroiled in the battles with W.R. Grace Corporation and the EPA that followed, has been nominated for a National News and Documentary Emmy.

The film, made in 2004 by High Plains Films’ Doug Hawes Davis and Drury Gunn Carr, is in the running for an Emmy in the the “Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story—Long Form” category. Libby, Montana was broadcast last year on PBS’s POV program.

“Libby, Montana” has garnered rave reviews since its release for its intimacy, perception, sense of humor and mostly, for the genuine voice it gives the people of Libby.

The National News and Documentary Emmy award winners will be announced in September in New York.
