6pm Screening + Director Commentary, Matt Meyers
Synopsis: Tar Creek is 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.
Now, almost 30 years after being designated for federal cleanup by the
Superfund program, Tar Creek residents are still fighting for
decontamination, environmental justice, and ultimately, the buyout and
relocation of their homes to safer ground. As Tar Creek reveals,
America’s Superfund sites aren’t just environmental wastelands;
they’re community tragedies, too. Until the community fights back.
