Tar Creek
Matt Myers
(USA, 2010, 72 min)
The story of the worst environmental disaster you’ve never heard of: the Tar Creek Superfund site. Once one of the largest lead and zinc mines on the planet, Tar Creek is now home to more than 40 square miles of environmental devastation in northeastern Oklahoma: acid mine water in the creeks, stratospheric lead poisoning in the children, and sinkholes that melt backyards and ball fields. After 30 years residents are still fighting for decontamination, and environmental justice. Director’s Choice and Audience Choice Awards, Southern Winds FF; Best Feature Doc, Nickel Independent FF
