Voices of Ilion The Exodus of Remington Arms from NY an American Story from the People

In the heart of Upstate New York lies the quaint village of Ilion, a community steeped in tradition, resilience, and a deep-rooted connection to the Second Amendment. For over two centuries, Remington Arms has been the lifeblood of Ilion, providing not just jobs but a sense of identity and pride for its residents. However, the town's very foundation is shaken when corporate greed and corruption come to light, leading to the departure of Remington Arms from its historic home.

Voices of Ilion is a riveting documentary that unfolds through the voices of Ilion's own residents, who witnessed firsthand the unraveling of their town's economic backbone. With candid interviews and poignant storytelling, the documentary sheds light on the intricate web of factors that led to Remington Arms' departure.

Through the lens of corporate mismanagement, greed, corruption, and the anti second amendment climate in NY, Voices of ilion exposes the harsh realities faced by small-town America in the modern era. The film delves into the consequences of decisions made in distant boardrooms, decisions that reverberate through the lives of hardworking families, and the very fabric of their community.
