Saving Juliette
The high cancer rates became town folklore in Juliette, Georgia. Neighbors saw homes demolished, wells filled with concrete, and padlocks on the property gates. This film follows residents as they galvanize their community, question their political leanings, and work to hold their representatives accountable in a fight for clean water.
