Toxic Art

Film Synopsis

Acid mine drainage is a pervasive problem, poisoning streams and killing wildlife, in American Appalachia. The technology and funding to remove these pollutants and bring life back to streams just didn’t exist, that is until fine art painter, John Sabraw rallied a team to address the issue in their local stream and develop a breakthrough process to upcycle pollutants into pigments. It’s amazing what humans are capable of when their actions are relentlessly committed, creative and cooperative.
