Black Water

1991, English. Directed by Charlotte Cerf & Allen Moore.

As pollution from upstream factories and mills flows down to the sea, the once rich waters around São Braz, a traditional maritime community in Bahia, Brazil, cannot sustain the marine life that provided employment and sustenance for the villagers. As their catch diminishes, fishermen intensify their efforts, further depleting stocks. And, as protein sources become scarce, malnutrition among the young arises. [The film] portrays the plight of people who are suffering the environmental impact and the human costs of poorly planned industrial planning, over which they have no control
