Bradley Gibson Film Threat Though it is extremely well done, you will not enjoy this film, but you may be motivated by it. Rated: 8/10 Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry In our current political climate, where it seems like there is a crisis every minute, it has been all too easy for many to forget about what happened and is still happening in Flint. That alone should make this documentary essential viewing. Feb 22, 2020 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Toxic water supply devastates Michigan city in earnest docu. Rated: 4/5 Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Chauncey K. Robinson People's World The film exposes the Flint crisis from a different angle.

Audience Member A really well done documentary that nails the issue of the tug of war between greed and justice. While its central theme focuses on Flint and history of what became its water crisis, it also highlights a the broader issue that touches almost every American community - the precarious balance of success and equity in the American Dream. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Frighteningly accurate. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Very moving film. There are so many things that are buried from the public view here. This film brings the problems to light through the people of flint and their personal stories. Definitely a must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member We think this film is very important. Flint is one of thousands of cities in America facing poison water. When will we realize clean water is a right. Fight systemic racism! Watch this film. Become engaged with your community. Stand up. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
