Idaho leaders urged to address systemic failures following prison abuse reports
InvestigateWest reporters uncovered years of sexual abuse by women’s prison guards prompting calls for independent investigation
Forks, Wash. is one of Washington's poorest places as well as being its rainiest. The rain is why Forks, Wash., is the setting for the Twilight novels and movies. Now there are battling documentaries about Forks. The poverty, the drugs, the racism affecting the nearby Native American reservations and much else would all make good topics for a documentarian. So do these documentaries tackle the important social questions onto which Forks can shed a light? I don't know, but the descriptions of Forks: Bitten by Twilightand Twilight in Forks: The Saga of the Real Town suggest otherwise.
