"Brooke Maroldi's engaging, heartfelt video 'Death of a Corner Drugstore," documents an important piece of local history, the closing of the beloved Oriental Drugstore in Milwaukee, a neighborhood gathering place for decades. Through interviews with staff, owners and customers, the video expresses the community's deep sense of loss while articulating broader issues. As corner drugstores, food markets and independent businesses across the country disappear, replaced by corporate chains, "Death of a Corner Drugstore" is a reminder of what is lost as well as an excellent example of an independent producer telling a story that needs to be told."
