The problem this project assesses is the lack of knowledge on Worcester’s rich history among the local community. With the aid of the Blackstone Canal District Alliance and Fairfax Films, the project aims to evoke how the Blackstone Canal helped industrialize Worcester with a focus on the Blackstone Canal District. The goals of the project are met through the production of a promotional documentary film.
