Suffolk University’s Ford Hall Forum presents “Harm in the Water.” This film is a powerful documentary that examines the devastating impact of industrial water pollution on Black communities along the Mississippi River. Through intimate portraits of community members, environmental activists and scientific experts, the film reveals how historical patterns of environmental hazards have created a modern crisis.
Director Kendall Moore takes viewers on a journey through the affected communities, highlighting both the struggles and resilience of residents fighting for clean water and environmental justice. The documentary combines compelling personal stories with rigorous scientific evidence to create an urgent call for change.
Following the screening, Moore will be in conversation with Dr. Joy Banner, featured in the film, and co-founder and co-director of The Descendants Project and a leading voice in environmental justice and community-led resistance in Louisiana’s “Cancer Alley.”
Together with local activists and experts working at the intersections of environment and community, they will explore how history, race, public health, and environmental policy intersect—and what it means to defend land, water, and life in the face of corporate power and governmental neglect.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
