In 2016, I visited Flint, Michigan in the height of its water crisis as a freelance video reporter for Yahoo! News.

I was struck by the irreversible effects the crisis had already undertaken on children, and appalled by the complete failure in local and state government to protect its citizens.

Flint is not alone; environmental racism and injustices are a nationwide epidemic, and policies continue to weaken the health of regular folks.

This documentary is an investigation into one of the worst public health disasters in American history.
