  • Description

Barbara Miller and a coalition of local activists, members of the Silver Valley People's Action Coalition (SVPAC), address the environmental and health consequence of 100 years of mining in Idaho's Silver Valley. They are up against the physical damage wrought by lead poisoning as well as community members' deep reluctance to speak out against the mining companies that had such a hold on the community.
