Kelly & Tammy Rundle filming during a blizzard at Forest Grove School No. 5 for their documentary "Resurrecting Forest Grove" in 2021.
By WHBF-TV4: Jonathan Turner
Kelly and Tammy Rundle of Moline-based Fourth Wall Films will screen their new documentary “Resurrecting Forest Grove” on Thursday, Jan. 18, at 1:30 p.m. at Bettendorf Public Library, 2950 Learning Campus Drive.
A Q&A with the Emmy award-winning filmmakers will follow the 58-minute film.
In 2012, a small group of preservationists stood before the hollowed-out shell of the unique and historic 1873 Forest Grove School No. 5 in Bettendorf, Iowa and decided it could, and should, be saved.
“Resurrecting Forest Grove” cinematically tells the dramatic true story behind the seemingly impossible task of restoring a vintage one-room school to its 1920s appearance. Footage and interviews gathered over a decade depict the problems they faced and the solutions they employed as they attempted to bring this decaying rural icon back to life.
