The Water Front

Tonight was the first ever public screening of a new documentary, The Water Front. The Water Front documents the struggle of the people of Highland Park to demand affordable water, resist the privatization of their water system and shut-offs of running water set in motion by the "managers" appointed to run Highland Park. The filmmaker had an extraordinary amount of access and video of the state-appointed city officials as they attempted to gouge already disadvantaged residents with rate-hikes, bully them with water and sewage shut-offs and privatize the city's water system. The film was shown at the Highland Park Community High School.
