    Marvin Heemyer may be relevant in some way to readers as well:

    The documentary “Tread” is something I recommend if available.

    If you have Netflix the documentary[0] came out at the beginning of the COVID quarantine. It was pretty interesting to watch. They weren't sympathetic to Heemeyer but the town was definitely being sketchy with how it handles permits.

    There is a documentary about it called Tread that showed at SXSW last year. Have never been able to find it available to stream, buy/rent, or even torrent.
