This video interviews the teacher mentioned in the article (Erika Thompson) and shows shots of life in the building, which helps give you a much better idea of their daily lives. Before watching this, I had a much different impression of what the building looked like/how life was, from reading the article alone.
And an even more recent one (from 2021) with Erika, that covers more of the city itself, vs. more focus on the BTI building. (The video above is from 2013.)
Thank you for this! It was exactly as I pictured it from the article. One tidbit not mentioned in the article is that the town is a tourist destination during the summer, which was the first thing that came to my mind when I looked on Google maps and saw a museum, lounge and seafood restaurant: https://www.google.com/maps/@60.7739931,-148.6857725,1497m/d...
