On March 6, 1996 a train derailed in Weyauwega, Wisconsin forcing the evacuation of the entire town for over two weeks. Burning propane cars threatened to destroy the entire town.

Wega Arts has made a film about the memory of the event from the people who were there. The film premiers April 22 at the Gerold Opera House in Weyauwega at 7:30pm. There will be an additional screening on April 23 at 7:30pm.
