Seattle is home to one of the largest publicly-available movie collections in the world. Scarecrow Video has been renting and selling films in the city for 36 years. 

But now, they’re in trouble. The nonprofit is raising 1.8 million dollars to keep the doors open and ensure the collection’s future.

We take a trip there to speak with Scarecrow executive director Kate Barr.
