Kimberley Feodoroff, alias Kim Kastle, was the “beauty” who was always destined to leave the town, while brothers Lyle and Wayne Hryniuk were doomed to work down in the mine. Then there’s former bully Richard Cloutier, who turned out to be the custodian of the town’s collective memory. The makers tell their story in text – the project started out as an idea for a book – with a collage of material from and about Pine Point in the background: photos and home movies made by residents, newspaper clippings, excerpts from diaries, and yearbooks from the high school.
