Hi there,
I am working on a documentary series in which one episode will focus on a criminal case based in Anniston, Alabama in 1979. As part of the episode we are hoping to feature news footage of the case or really any footage shot in Anniston from the 1960s or 1970s that would show general views of the town.
I have had difficulty locating many copies of news stories of the case with any of the current incarnations of the local television stations - so I was just wondering if anyone had ever come across any news collections from this period (WHMA, WVTM or WBRC may have covered the story initially). Alternatively I don't suppose any Annistonians are aware of any home movies or footage of community events from the time that might exist?
I hope this is an appropriate place to pose this question - please do let me know if there would be a better place to put it.
Many thanks!
