This revealing video is essential for anyone concerned with environmental justice. America's historic Mississippi River has become a 2,300-mile toxic waterway. Over half the industrial toxic waste discharged into American lakes and streams is dumped directly into the Mississippi.
Cancer and mortality rates are among the highest in the nation along the chemical corridor stretching from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. Entire towns have been shuttered as the direct result of unchecked air and ground water pollution.
