The SCREENING WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A PANEL DISCUSSION WITH EXPERTS IN
PUBLIC HEALTH, politics, and more. This event is free, and
refreshments will be provided.From the film makers' website:
"100,000 people have been poisoned by lead, a lifelong affliction, yet
somehow this shocking event has been normalized in the US. "Flint: The
Poisoning of an American City" gives voice to the current struggle of
city residents and follows the environmental history of the river and
how the continued abuse and neglect of city infrastructure and
environmental regulations have led to the poisoning of a city. Flint
explores the critical question of how this could happen in America,
and how this event should serve as a warning for the rest of the
country. A recent report found that 5,300 American cities were found
to be in violation of federal lead rules, and research published in
USA Today detected excessive lead in nearly 2,000 public water systems
across all 50 states. This documentary educates but also enrages and
seeks to radically change how we view and value water."
