Christine Walley and Chris Boebel are working on an online interactive documentary as part of the transmedia Exit Zero Project. The project also includes an award-winning book Exit Zero: Family and Class in Post-Industrial Chicago (University of Chicago Press, 2013) and a long form documentary film Exit Zero: An Industrial Family Story currently in the final stages of post-production. The interactive documentary website, conceived in conjunction with ODL, is being created in partnership with the Southeast Chicago Historical Museum. The website is in the early planning stages and is being supported by an NEH grant.The project as a whole uses personal and family stories from the former steel mill region of Southeast Chicago to tell the larger story of the long-term impacts of deindustrialization in the U.S.
