Equal parts landscape, industrial and portrait film, 'Steel Mill Rolling' is a document of a functioning steel mill in Western Pennsylvania where the filmmaker's family has worked for nearly 100 years. The plant operates with a fraction of the laborers it once employed, and the operations are relegated to specialized processing. The steel slabs transformed at this mill in Farrell, PA come primarily from Russia, where the government subsidizes their production. The film is a contemporary portrait of the steel industry, considering the economic, political and environmental realities of multinational steel manufacturing.
