The Story Behind the Film
By Rick Kupchella
As a journalist for more than 30 years, I’ve covered thousands of stories… and interviewed well over 20k people on several continents. But what I see happening here at home – in Minneapolis and St. Paul today – may be the biggest story of my career. This film investigates the challenges of a once strong and vibrant Twin Cities. It analyzes the key drivers of change… and what will have to be true to turn things around.
A Precarious State was born out of a question: What is really happening in Minnesota today (or these past few years)? The answers we’ve uncovered go beyond headlines, beyond the pandemic, to the very future of our community.
