Book excerpt: Looks at the effects of pollution and acid rain on public health and the environment. "A hard-hitting investigative documentary of industry efforts, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to weaken the Clean Air Act. The film (originally presented on public television) exposed the phony claims of concern for protecting the environment by the Reagan administration. It was not long after the first telecast of this documentary that the head of EPA of that era resigned. The Edison Electric Institute (the trade association for the electric power industry) re-edited the documentary with their own spokesman intermittently inserting their point of view ... Included in our film are industry and government advocates, air pollution victims and scientists trying to cope with acid rain ... Filmed in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area; the Adirondacks in New York; Los Angeles; Japan; Sweden; Canada; and England."--The container.
