Fresh water. Imagine a day without it. We use it to grow food, transport goods, generate power, support industry, and provide sanitation. We have a human connection to the rivers that flow through the heart of our cities, towns, and rural areas. 50 years after the enactment of the Clean Water Act, "Upstream, Downriver" follows these rivers to communities where frontline activists are continuing to fight for clean water equity and climate justice across the U.S. Interwoven with their inspiring, powerful stories is historical context that reveals the systemic disregard for many disadvantaged communities. Federal regulation is only as good as it is enforced at the state and regional level. ?Upstream, Downriver? is a moving and provocative documentary that informs and empowers viewers to engage in clean water equity, compel regulatory enforcement, and drive climate justice.
