Murky Waters of Flint

The city of Flint, Michigan has a water crisis. It’s been going on since 2014, when residents were switched to a cheaper supply but it took a year before the authorities admitted there was a problem. As a result, thousands were exposed to lead poisoning, carcinogenic chemicals and legionella bacteria. Miguel Francis-Santiago investigates what caused the problem, its dire consequences and why they tried to cover it up.

Watch "Murky Waters of Flint" on RTD website and on RT’s live feed. The time of the broadcast is available on RT’s schedule page.
