American Socialist: The Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs
A documentary based on five years of research into a Michigan auto town where tens of thousands were drinking water into which poisonous lead had leached, and how officials failed to respond. Filmed over 5 years by director Anthony Baxter, FLINT is the gripping story of largest water poisoning disaster in American history, as seen through the eyes of the people of Flint, Michigan, whose health and lives have been shattered. It exposes the power battles and political failures that leave the people of Flint - a majority of whom are African-American - still drinking contaminated water rejected by the local General Motors car factory because it corrodes car parts. For a world coming to grips with issues racial injustice and a lack of trust in government and science, FLINT is a devastating and timely warning about what happens when that trust completely breaks down. —Anthony Baxter
