Flint: Who Can You Trust?

description

A breakdown in public trust and institutional racism are at the forefront of this definitive and chilling examination of one of the worst human-caused environmental disasters in American history. Journalist and filmmaker Anthony Baxter (YOU’VE BEEN TRUMPED) goes beyond the headlines of the water poisoning crisis in Flint, Michigan to show the complete breakdown of authority, public trust, and faith in truth itself.

Filmed over five years, FLINT: WHO CAN YOU TRUST? is the untold story of what happened after the news cameras packed up and left the city. Trapped in a dystopian nightmare and lied to by the very officials who were supposed to protect them, the residents of Flint lose all faith in authority, in science, and truth itself. Full of new twists and turns and narrated by Alec Baldwin, the documentary is a powerful investigation of the breathtaking scope of toxic pseudo-science, celebrity activism, official negligence, and the devastating impact the crisis had on the residents of Flint.
