Mossville: When Great Trees Fall
Mossville: When Great Trees Fall
Mossville, Louisiana, a community founded by former slaves, was a thriving African American community for more than a century. Today it’s a breeding ground for petrochemical plants and their toxic black clouds. Many residents are forced from their homes; those that stay suffer from prolonged exposure to contamination and pollution. Amid this chaos stands one man, Stacey Ryan, who refuses to abandon his family’s land and fights for basic human rights in this powerful portrait of resilience and resistance to environmental racism.
