Justin Speck wants his theater students to remember what happened 20 years ago on September 11th. Speck was working in Manhattan when he witnessed the attacks on the World Trade Center. Thousands of miles away at the time, John Seder, a photographer and New York native living in a different state watched in horror as a place he once lived was terrorized. Time would move on, but the memories would stay, never to be forgotten.

Les Shaw knows it has to rain, at some point, but how will the family ranch fare until then? Shaw is a fourth-generation rancher in White Owl on the land his great grandfather homesteaded in 1898. He and his brother, along with their families, run the cow-calf operation. In 2021, the drought conditions in South Dakota severely impacted the ranch operation.
