UPSTREAM, DOWNRIVER: UNITING FOR WATER JUSTICE
(1/60)

Close   

Documentary  TV-PG

The 1972 Clean Water Act introduced landmark regulations significantly reducing water pollution in America. However, it did not serve many disadvantaged communities, especially those most vulnerable to our climate crisis. From toxic run-off to open-waste water, more than half of the waterways in the U.S. today are still too polluted for drinking, fishing, swimming, or for aquatic life. UPSTREAM, DOWNRIVER: UNITING FOR WATER JUSTICE is an hour-long documentary about community activists on the frontlines of the fight for water justice and equity. Their powerful stories are interwoven with historical context about the successes and failures of the Clean Water Act. Viewers journey into the heart of their inspiring stories as they come together from communities across the country – from Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles to Alabama and New Orleans, and finally to the Navajo Nation – to unite in the fight for water justice.
