Warren County Film About Toxic Landfill Protest

/by

Area residents who may have missed an earlier screening of a documentary film about events that happened 40 years ago in Warren County have another opportunity to see it next week.

The film, “Our Movement Starts Here,” chronicles protests against the state of North Carolina’s plan to build a toxic waste landfill in the county, which inspired an international movement for environmental justice.

Head over to the Vance-Granville Community College Civic Center on Monday, Feb. 24 for a 5:30 p.m. screening. The doors open at 5 for this free event, presented by VGCC as part of the college’s annual Black History Month observance. Filmmaker John Rash will be on hand, along with a panel of original protesters, for a question-and-answer session at the conclusion of the film.

Through contemporary interviews with the original protesters who inspired the environmental justice movement in 1982, this feature documentary tells the story of a rural community fighting the state of North Carolina’s plan to construct a toxic landfill near their homes.

The film was already shown Tuesday, Feb. 18 at the Warren County Senior Center.
