Fighting For Air

PBS, USA

Airing April 2022

Air pollution has long been recognised as a cause of chronic health issues, but over the last decade, the LA Port Region has become one of the most polluted parts of the world. 

As E-commerce has exploded, so has asthma and lung cancer. The logistics industry continues to expand to cater to the ever-increasing warehouse boom, and with it, the area has become known as a diesel death zone.

This film investigates the David vs Goliath struggle for clean air as San Bernadino’s community of colour are coming together to fight global online giants such as Amazon, that pollute the air they breathe.
