Industry on Parade: Sylacauga Saga portrays Sylacauga, Alabama, as a revitalized cotton-belt community shaped by Avondale Mills. It follows cotton fibers through carding, drawing, and processing, then examines the company’s broader influence through employee homeownership, farm homes, recreational facilities, and community life. The film also highlights national industry conferences addressing wage stabilization, taxation, defense spending, and inflation.
