Clear Cut: The Story of Philomath, Oregon

This documentary depicts a vivid example of America's current culture war.

The largest employers are no longer the lumber mills but Oregon State University in Corvallis, which is about six miles from Philomath, and a Hewlett-Packard center involved in engineering ink-jet components.
