(ABC 6 NEWS) -- Minnesota City and Stockton residents gathered today to watch the premiere of a documentary that focuses on the effect the 2007 floods had on their communities.
    
The memories of the 2007 floods rarely escape Lyle and Joann Ziegeweid.

"I looked down and I said, “Holy Camole!  We are being flooded”,” Lyle said.

"There was everything floating by, large chunks of wood that people had piled up apparently for firewood and so forth were just going like toothpicks down through," Joann said.

As the couple watched their neighbors and friends share their stories in a documentary of the floods, they say they can relate.

"The matter of the one gentleman mentioning that it looked like Niagara Falls, that's exactly what I said to my husband when I went to check the basement window,” Joann said.

The Garvin Brook Disaster Relief group funded the documentary.
    
Steve White is one of the group's members and says they raised around 45-hundred dollars to put it together.

"We wanted to put some sort of documentary together that showed the flood and what happened,” said White.

He says they are selling DVD's of the project to remind people of the long-term effects this flood has had on the community.

"For people that don't live here, it's going to look more or less normal but for people who do live here there's holes in where things used to be,” he said.

But there are no holes for the Ziegeweids, they remember it all.

"It really humbles a person and really it's different when you experience it yourself,” said Joann.

The couple says they hope profits from the DVD can help rebuild their community.

Copies of the DVD are selling for about 10-dollars a piece, and the proceeds will go toward offering community meals, assistance with landscaping, and a special dedication on the newly rebuilt Minnesota City bridge.
