COOKEVILLE -- Local film producer Todd Jarrell wants the world to know the stand Cookeville took in squashing home meth labs, and he tells that story in his new hour-long documentary, "Crank: Darkness on the Edge of Town."
The film will have its public premiere at 7 p.m. this coming Wednesday at Cookeville Drama Center.
"I was trying to tell what happened in one town as a mirror to what happened in towns all across America," said Jarrell. "But the story turns on the fact that this town did something about it."
The documentary lays the groundwork with basic information about methamphetamine including a behind-the-scenes look at the El Paso Intelligence Center's secret room where the DEA collects data from all around the world on the importation of illicit substances, and interviews with Richard Rawson Ph.D., an expert on methamphetamine at UCLA, and John Martyny Ph.D. at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver, who researched the pollution meth labs create and how it affects children.
