    4:30 : "So why is the water in Flint so unsafe ?
    In April 2014, the State Government switched the water supply from Lake Huron to the highly toxic Flint River.
    The move was meant to save money, but the Flint River water was allowed to run through the system untreated,
    eating away at the pipes.
    - There was a whole issue around the chemistry and corrosion control, and water quality. And so as that switch was made..."

    Who was Michigan's governor when Flint had its water crisis? Adolf Hitler? And who was mayor of Flint when the toxic impurities started to flow? Benito Mussolini?

      Here's the translate, from the original documentary that I found on torrent :

    'Disbelief that this could've happened in America'? One of their rivers was so contaminated the fucking thing caught fire!!! Never mind the Tuskegee experiment!

    Some of the older homes there-do they have lead plumbing? If so, that will also need to be replaced.

      In Culebra, an island off Puerto Rico, there are giant water tanks brought in daily, as the island has no water of its own.

    Flint, I think you should've contacted Brita and have them send in water filters when you switched. Then you probably wouldn't have had this water crisis.

      It was never to save money, that was just some bs they told the public. #1 the KWA was a conspiracy among higher ups in Michigan to help their rich buddies, #2 America wants to kill off as many brown people as it can because we are racist as f here.

    Flint Michiganders are heroes I think.
    Their sacrifice is a boon to us all.
    Since we're not fixing the water they drink,
    we have more money to spend on the Wall. : - (

      Unfortunately no politicians care about Flint, Mi. Not Trump, Not Biden, Not a single one of them. They make empty promises but they don't give af about the poor people in Flint.

    no matter to what degree, number, extent or scope, nearly all of anyone (mainly urban populations) who has problems and difficulties, troubles, hardships, etc., will continually blame or otherwise rest the responsibility onto someone else or some other being or existence or entity other than themselves, even if in fact the blame can be attributed elsewhere, and further more will complain incessantly about the matters of their condition even if help arrives and that help is well served and without cost or real expense to the suffered parties. it's a rare and admiral individual to whom this doesn't apply.

      Ah word vomit. America’s favorite strategy to avoid an easily fixed problem. The source of the water crisis in flint is easily traceable through evidence that has already been presented to the public. This was a government created crisis due to lack of investment in infrastructure from state and budget plan for water treatment center from state and city, even knowing that water was contaminated, plain and simple.

    Stop depending on the man and get your Enagic machine and put in your home and there is alkaline water now online, in stores and look at people in Calfornia which I never understood, but I do understand that they have common sense the water is not for drinking and is very hard even for bathing? Each man for himself in this country it would appear, sad, but true! As bad as it how many more people have to die or get sick from bad water. If we can't take care of ourselves and stop relying on a man to make things better we are all doomed. You got to get up off of your behind and make things happen! This is crazy that this problem is still occurring! Please get alkaline water and myself and many have fought for this water to be available in stores.

    these people seem to be professional victims. They were featured on a CNN piece as well. Dude, grow some balls and move your family elsewhere. At some point you gotta just get up and move.... and why is this guy talking so soft?

      When half of the population is below the poverty level how are the suppose to afford to move? When a house in Detroit cost more then they make? Let a lone the gas to drive there and look at houses, the fees for a moving truck, etc...? How are they going to move?

      @@melinawolff2699 Don't mind him. There are many guys (and gals) like him who mouth off various stupid "advice". There is a fair to good chance that his water supply also isn't exactly pure and if proven of that, I highly doubt he will be able to take his own advice and "move his family elsewhere".
