Details
Mossville, Louisiana, was a community rich in natural resources and history; a town founded by formerly enslaved people, where neighbors lived in harmony, insulated from the horrors of Jim Crow. Today, surrounded by 14 petrochemical plants and the future site of an apartheid-born South African $21.2 billion plant, Mossville is a shadow of its former self. Stacey Ryan, who promised his dying parents to fight the sprawling chemical plants whose pollution killed them, refuses to leave his ancestral home. How long can he keep that promise in an increasingly dangerous chemical war zone?
