MISSOULA - A Minnesota filmmaker is in Missoula to kick-off her documentary film about Missoula's historic and controversial peace sign that once sat on Water Works hill.

Along with telling the story of the peace sign's birth in 1983 and its demise in 2001, Selby will focus on many different views of the story behind the peace sign.

She tells us the film is in its infant stages and much more work needs to be done, along with a lot of fundraising.
