WATCH: Short Film Documents Lisle Families' Flood Damage

Two families, both 30-year residents of the Village of Lisle, show what the April 2013 flooding did to their homes in a short documentary by 20K Films.

A short four-minute film posted on YouTube by documentarians 20K Films depicts the plight of two Lisle families, three-decade residents of the Village, who suffered badly in the April 2013 floods.

In the film, "30 Year Lisle, IL Residents Suffer from Flood Damage April 2013," the Valentines and the Tainters (both from the 4600 block of River Drive, adjacent to the DuPage River) open their homes to show the massive damage within.

Their stories are painful: the Tainters took on five feet of water, and the Valentines are dealing with the flood damage along with asthma and sickle-cell, the documentary reveals.

(Lisle Patch also gets a few mentions.)
