COMPANY TOWN

A fight for survival in a small working class town plagued with deadly illness caused by extreme pollution from the very company that provides the people of the town their livelihoods…

What do you do when the same company that provides your living is also making you sick?

And you then find out this company is not just making you as an employee sick, but also your family, your kids… your entire neighborhood. This company, your company is quietly yet blatantly poisoning the air we breathe and the water we drink…

Sound like a setup to a fictional horror movie, a historical piece to a bygone lawless error, or some poor third world country? Unfortunately not.

This is real. It is happening as you read this. It is occurring in the United States.
