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. Go to Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media 02/21/2020

01/26/2020 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. See more 01/01/2020 Frighteningly accurate. See more 01/01/2020 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. See more 01/01/2020 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.
