ABOUT

Each year the Texan petro-chemical industry is permitted to release millions of tons of toxic pollutants into the air, plus thousands of tons more in ‘accidental’ or ‘unscheduled’ releases. This film is an intimate portrait of one fence-line community, sharing their neighbourhood with some of the largest refineries in the world, and how this impacts their daily lives.

Please tell me how you were able to obtain funding… i have been having so much trouble. I just shot my trailer last weekend, i will be uploading it once it is edited. This funding has been a huge issue. Any advice will help me greatly.
