"Ana Mercado produced this important documentary while engaged in a summer internship from Antioch College.
Ana had been interested in social justice issues for many years and was greatly interested in linking her film interests with a real life cause.
She met with many different community leaders, most of them affiliated with the Bronx Environmental Action Coalition, and learned about their efforts to shut down the GE power plants.
The images were filmed in the South Bronx during the Summer and Autumn of 2003 and edited at school entirely on her own.
Ana was grateful to the many people who shared time with her and helped inform the production of this video."
We are working to convert and upload the entire 24 minute film.
