Probably the most poignantly political film I saw at 2017 Hot Docs
This film begins with a chemical leak from a chemical plant/storage centre that lies immediately upstream from a West Virginia water treatment plant whose downstream residents immediately notify the world that something is wrong with their water.

This causes our gallant documentarian to head there and capture on film all the local politicians and regulators shouting into cameras “the waters safe! the waters safe!”

As you might imagine the path toward corrective measures in regards to environmental accidents is a slow and dogged one against powerful, vested interests, that excercise measurable control over all things legislated.

This film maker persisted and documented all of proceedings to the point that laws were strengthened to stop this from happening again.

Well done, kind of…

I’m not going to say how it ended, you might, however, have guessed..

At the premiere I had the opportunity to speak to the film maker and asked him about all of the hurdles he had to jump over and obstacles in his path and all of the giants he had to battle. I said I don’t know how you could have persisted through all of this…It made me want to just cry.

His response was that yes he was frustrated and that he had thought a few times about self-decapitation (I’ve never heard that from a film maker before).

We should greatly admire his persistence and his ‘stick-to-it-iveness’.

This is something all Americans should see to fully understand how much their government actually loves them.

Not a Left or Right argument
This is a well put together documentary and a very important one. We are being hoodwinked by those we elect entrust with our children’s health.

We are one of the few countries left that still puts fluoride in our drinking water. It has been banned from many other countries, but as long as the money machine is working behind the scenes, we will continue to get sicker and sicker. I stopped using tap water when I was diagnosed with MS. I had a gut feeling about the water- so this film really hit home.

I looked into suing the CDC on a completely different issue, but learned that that’s something I cannot do because they are PROTECTED by law.

Many people who work at our government regulatory agencies come from big pharma, big oil etc., now they are getting their pockets lined from their old work chums.

The corruption is widespread and being fueled by the lobbyists of big business. They don’t give à rats a$$ about your health. It’s ALL ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE. They don’t want you to show them scientific proof, they want you to show them the MONEY.

I was a bit disappointed to see that Dr. Gupta sold out, but in the end, they all do.

Great film and one that everyone should see.
