Welcome to Lee Maine

Welcome to Lee Maine

Welcome to Lee Maine is a documentary film about a small, close-knit town (population 845) in rural Maine. As the smallest town in America to lose two sons in the Iraqi Conflict, the town of Lee learns how to cope with such a startling loss. Lee is a typical American town: patriotic, bucolic, with strong Christian values and a long tradition of service in the US Armed Forces. The film follows the community as it pulls together to overcome tragic loss and heartbreak. While opinions are hotly divided about America’s role the war in Iraq, the people of Lee bypass the common trappings of political disagreements and instead unite in their support of families, neighbors, and each other in this emotional time.
