Summary "Ellen Page and Gaycation collaborator Ian Daniel shift gears with the documentary There's Something in the Water, a disturbing and, frankly, terrifying portrait of ecological and social disasters in Page's native Nova Scotia. Based on Ingrid Waldron's incendiary study, the film follows Page as she travels to rural areas of the province that are plagued by toxic fallout from industrial development. As did Waldron, the filmmakers discover that these catastrophes have been precisely placed, all in remote, low income -- and very often Indigenous or Black -- communities. As the filmmakers observe, your postal code determines your health."--TIFF webpage
Notes The film premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival and was released on Netflix on March 27, 2020
"Based on the book There's something in the water: Environmental racism in Indigenous & Black communities by Dr. Ingrid Waldron, PhD."
