Many experts believe that poor and minority neighborhoods have been victims of "environmental racism," subjected to high levels of toxic waste dumping and industrial pollution because residents were not expected to fight back. This program shows how residents in these unsafe and polluted areas have traded powerlessness and inertia for the tools necessary to solve this environmental crisis themselves. Angry and determined to effect change, these residents are waging a grass roots war against those responsible for the pollution in order to save their environment - and protect the health of their children.
