Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 28th of September.
Good morning, Scottsdale.
🎭 Culture
Deborah Correa's debut film The War Between is a Western historical drama that tells a Civil War story about memory and identity at Picacho Pass—filmed entirely in Arizona.
It premiered at the Phoenix Film Festival and held a special screening at Harkins Shea 14 in Scottsdale, and it will be released digitally on Nov. 25.
🏛️ Government
Scottsdale residents filed a lawsuit Friday to block Axon's plan to build a new global headquarters with a hotel and apartments after over 25,000 residents signed a referendum against the project.
The suit by Taxpayers Against Awful Apartment Zoning Exemptions seeks an injunction from Maricopa County Superior Court to stop a state law designed solely for Axon’s benefit—forcing the project forward despite local opposition.
