Short description

Veteran riverkeeper, Dr. Jackie Echols, protects the environment and majority Black communities throughout the South River watershed in metro Atlanta. When the city begins construction on the largest police training facility in America (Cop City), she joins the growing resistance movement, revealing the hidden connection between corporate development, unchecked pollution, and environmental racism persistent throughout the region.
