The Creek Runs Red Documentary DVD
"It's Just Something That Gets In Your Blood," says the Mayor of Picher, Oklahoma about his sense of hometown pride. However, his words take on a powerful irony in this documentary that looks at the toxic legacy of lead mining in a small community. Since the area was declared a superfund site in 1981. Picher's residents have been forced to chose between preserving their image of the American dream and preserving their health. The Creek Runs Red carries us into the heart of a sharply divided community to reveal, with extraordinary intimacy and insight, an array of human reactions to an environmental disaster.
