"POISONED WATERS" HITS HOME
Our program rang a bell with viewers, many of whom quickly called for a rerun by PBS.

“Sophisticated, comprehensive, brave… The best succinct statement in print or on film of the need for immediate action to make safe the water we drink,” comments Roger Kennedy, former Director, National Park Service.

“Wonderful work, and thank God, Frontline. I truly appreciate all of the hard work you and your team put into the making of this landmark film,” comments Alex Formuzis, Environmental Working Group.

Washington Post: “Uses visual imagery to arresting effect…crackling journalism.”

Kansas City Star: “A fascinating and disturbing story.”

“It was fabulous,” says Richard Moe, President of the National Preservation Trust. “Smith has a way of explaining things that makes them so understandable, so accessible. It’s a great achievement. It will have impact.”

Progress takes tough regulation and a push at the grass roots from activists - whether it’s fighting PCB’s along Seattle’s Duwamish River or controlling eco-fouling sprawl in Virginia.
