Welcome to Braddock, a working-class town whose industrial history threatens to cast a cloud over its future.
Directed by Rosie Haber, who had this to say about her use of infrared imagery: "infrared light is light that is invisible to us as humans, but then you can make it visible through photographing it in a certain way. I thought that that was an interesting metaphor for pollution, in that it's something that is visible, but also invisible, and that we can make apparent through this infrared photography."

Follow the Monongahela River southeast from Pittsburgh to Braddock, Pennsylvania, a steel town whose residents forged America—and paid for it with their lives. The city and its surrounding area have one of the highest cancer rates in the country, and a history of health outcomes split along color lines. Braddock (population: less than 2,000) is also home to people who are determined to stick around and improve their lives and the lives of their neighbors. In this powerful new documentary series, we meet an activist, a filmmaker, a farmer, and a politician fighting to bring their town back from the brink.
