Directed by award-winning local filmmaker Carl Kriss, RELIGHTING THE FLAME tells the story of how a new generation of workers at the Cleveland-Cliffs Cleveland Works steel mill and nearby facilities are defying enormous odds to rebuild and grow America’s steel industry, right in the Industrial Heartland. 

“In his probing story about Midwestern steelworkers, documentarian Carl Kriss takes on one of the most important issues of our time—how to create the kind of communities our children will want to return to. The answer isn’t just good schools, health care, and opportunity. It’s homegrown jobs.”

– Beth Macy, best-selling author of “Factory Man” and “Dopesick”
