American Experience - S36E04 - Poisoned Ground: The Tragedy at Love Canal (High MP4) (WEBM) (Aired: 2024-04-22)
A TOXIC SECRET BENEATH THEIR FEET - "Poisoned Ground: The Tragedy at Love Canal" tells the dramatic and inspiring story of the ordinary women who fought against overwhelming odds for the health and safety of their families. In the late 1970s, residents of Love Canal, a working-class neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York, discovered that their homes, schools and playgrounds were built on top of a former chemical waste dump, which was now leaking toxic substances and wreaking havoc on their health. Through interviews with many of the extraordinary housewives turned activists, the film shows how they effectively challenged those in power, forced America to reckon with the human cost of unregulated industry, and created a grassroots movement that galvanized the landmark Superfund Bill.
