Premiered April 22 at 9PM ET on PBS, PBS.org, and the PBS App- Offers important lessons we need today.

Poisoned Ground chronicles the story of Love Canal, a neighborhood in Niagara Falls, N.Y., where residents discovered their homes were built on a toxic chemical waste dump, leading to health crises. The documentary highlights how ordinary women fought for their families’ safety, challenged those in power, and galvanized a grassroots movement that led to the landmark Superfund Bill. Many parallels of environmental battles continue today. The Environmental Protection agency is in operation and the Superfund Bill was passed, but why are so many contaminated communities still left without relief, especially those impacting primarily people of color ?
