Folks who live in some Birmingham, Ala., neighborhoods are trapped in communities with deadly levels of industrial pollution.

People have been leaving for decades, but many are stuck, unable to afford to get out. “Toxic City: Birmingham’s Dirty Secret” is an award-winning 26-minute documentary about the people left behind. The film explores how this happened and discusses possible solutions to the problem. Contact us to request a password for your class or screening event.
