The Red Wing Video Series moves into its final piece with a look at Duluth-based Hallett Dock Company. The employee-owned company was started back in 1959 and since then has been responsible for supplying bulk commodities for the maritime industry. Red Wing’s been supplying them with wearable, durably work boots for decades as they’re mandatory for workers. The story’s definitely one worth checking out.

The film’s screening this week at Tribeca Grand and will debut later this year.
