Wordfest is a proud community partner on the upcoming Alberta premiere of Love and Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere, presented by the Calgary Underground Film Festival (CUFF).
The documentary film follows gifted author Poe Ballantine, whose acclaimed memoir of the same name inspired the film, as he leads us through a maze of conspiracy theories and misplaced suspicions, offering insights into the town of Chadron and his own life of wanderlust.
In 2006, Steven Haataja, a brilliant mathematics professor in the isolated community of Chadron, Nebraska, disappears without a trace. His body is discovered three months later, burned and tied to a tree. The cause of death sends the small community reeling with questions.
