About

The Santiago River flows along the outskirts of Guadalajara, Mexico. For forty years, waste from one of Mexico's largest manufacturing corridors has been dumped into the Santiago. The river has been transformed into a sewer with over 1000 known chemicals, including dangerously high levels of arsenic, chrome, and lead. Silent River follows a young woman and her family as they defy death threats to try and save the one of the most polluted rivers in Mexico.

Reviews

"Spotlighting an alarming example of the consequences of lax environmental regulations, this is recommended."
Video Librarian
"Recommended. Those interested in environmental activism will find this an instructive and useful reference. Any class that hopes to raise awareness of the importance of individual activism for the good of the community will be rewarded by screening this"
