Join us at the McKinley Foundation for free pizza and local organic popcorn as we delve into a classic detective story in West Virginia to uncover the truth behind a massive chemical spill in 2014 that left 300,000 people without drinking water for months discovers an obscene collusion between chemical corporations and the high levels of government. The investigation spirals in a terrifying direction, and we learn the frightening truth about what lies upstream of us all.

Get updates on Illinois environmental issues about the Clean Energy Jobs Act, banning fracking, dealing with coal ash contamination, and air quality. Hear stories from friends who were in West Virginia during the disaster, of our local water threats, and how we may deal with a contamination disaster.
