Environmental justice stories through cinema

We collaborated with IMET and the Environmental Justice Journalism Initiative (EJJI) for a film screening and panel discussion as part of IMET’s Winter Series on January 24th. The screening featured two films: Eroding History by André Chung, focusing on two Black communities in Deal Island, MD, grappling with sea level rise and cultural preservation amid climate change, and Disruption: Baltimore’s Highway to Nowhere by Sean Yoes, detailing the impact of Highway 40 on Baltimore's Black community. The panel, moderated by Amanda Phillips de Lucas, director of the Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance, provided a great opportunity for the audience to engage with the filmmakers.
