A raw, vérité film that follows three individuals fighting to save a dying lake. They see what’s coming—poisoned air, a collapsing ecosystem, a community on the brink—and throw themselves into the everyday, often mundane work of trying to stop it. As they push against bureaucracy, apathy, and the ticking clock of a crisis decades in the making, something eerie and heartbreaking lingers at the edges: dust rising in the background, a reminder of what will be lost if they fail.
Please join the Center for American Progress and DC/DOX for the Washington, D.C., premiere of “The Lake” followed by a conversation about the human impact on the environment.
This event is part of CAP’s Reel Progress program.
