This week on APTN News InFocus, guest host Mark Blackburn looks at what it means to live in the shadow of heavy industry.
Factories and refineries are a familiar sight along roads and highways. They make the products we use every day. But for people living nearby, they are more than just part of the view. In places known as ‘sacrifice zones’, chemical leaks, strong odours and long-term health risks are part of daily life.
Journalists Angela Belleau and Tom Fennario join the show to talk about their new APTN Investigates documentary, Sacrifice Zones. They explain the link between microplastics and industrial pollution, and share what they learned from communities like Aamjiwnaang First Nation and Kahnawake.
We ask what’s being done to protect people who live near industry and what happens if nothing changes. Watch the full APTN Investigates episode here: https://youtu.be/QeNaT2GMpTM
