Creede U.S.A.

Synopsis

Mandy Patinkin recalls the arrival of a theater company in Creede, Colorado, in 1966. The remote mining town sought to revive its economy through the arts. Over decades, the town faced a culture clash as queer artists and progressive ideas emerged alongside its conservative roots. Personal stories and town meetings illustrate the ongoing negotiation of identity and belonging. Creede became a reflection of America's divisions, revealing the challenges of coexistence in a small community.
