New Film Centers On Newark's Fight For Environmental Justice

Trucks are seen driving through the Ironbound district near the intersection of Hawkins St. and Ferry St. in Newark, in Newark, NJ.

Crammed alongside Newark's Iro 50-thousand residents are hundreds of contaminated sites, industrial warehouses, a sewage processing facility AND an incinerator that burns trash from as far away as New York City. A new documentary screening at the Montclair Film Festival this weekend focuses on the activists fighting for a cleaner community.
