In the backwoods of Ontario lies a town called Kinmount. This little hamlet of only a few hundred residents no longer has a gas station or a school; however, thanks to the singular vision of local septuagenarian Keith Stata, what it does boast is a five-screen cinema palace and memorabilia museum—one that welcomes upwards of 50,000 visitors every summer.
