Fighting to Leave is a national exploration of how fence line pollution can be so severe, longstanding communities are pressing government and industry to relocate them. The series explores this vital environmental issue with great depth from the ground floor, examining case studies from Louisiana to Florida to New York, and revealing the human cost of pollution. The series also unmasks the difficulty homesteaders encounter in convincing government and industry to move them – and the emotional entanglements that come with leaving. A second part of the series explored the dawn of fence line relocations, recreating the story of Love Canal, NY, and examining how its lessons resonate today.
