Acerca de esta escucha

When the people of Flint, Michigan, turned on their faucets in April 2014, the water pouring out was poisoned with lead and other toxins.

Through a series of disastrous decisions, the state government had switched the city’s water supply to a source that corroded Flint’s aging lead pipes. Complaints about the foul-smelling water were dismissed: the residents of Flint, mostly poor and African American, were not seen as credible, even in matters of their own lives.

It took 18 months of activism by city residents and a band of dogged outsiders to force the state to admit that the water was poisonous. By that time, 12 people had died and Flint’s children had suffered irreparable harm. The long battle for accountability and a humane response to this man-made disaster has only just begun.

In Anna Clark's full account of this American tragedy, The Poisoned City recounts the gripping story of Flint’s poisoned water through the people who caused it, suffered from it, and exposed it. It is a chronicle of one town, but could also be about any American city, all made precarious by the neglect of infrastructure and the erosion of democratic decision making. Places like Flint are set up to fail - and for the people who live and work in them, the consequences can be fatal.

interesting analysis, but the sub-theme of economic disaster was under-developed. propose long term solutions, please.

interesting, but economically wanting

Living only 30 miles from Flint, I have heard a fair amount about the “Flint water crisis”. This really opened my eyes to exactly what has gone on over the last several years and just how severe the issue is. Great read if you’re looking to learn more about this crisis.

Very Informative

essential story

The story this is about is very interesting but I found myself getting bored with too much information. I think if they edited and reduced the content it would be great.

Good but not great
