Poisoned Ground: The Tragedy at Love Canal recounts the powerful story of everyday women who bravely fought for their families' well-being. In the late 1970s, residents of Love Canal, a working-class community near Niagara Falls, New York, learned their homes, schools, and playgrounds were built on a former chemical waste site. Toxic substances from the leaking dump were harming their health. The film features interviews with these remarkable women, who transformed into activists and successfully challenged those in authority. They forced the nation to confront the consequences of unchecked industry and sparked a grassroots movement that led to the creation of the landmark Superfund Bill.
