"Fenceline" looks at race, toxic pollution, and a company town in that portion of the Mississippi Delta known as Cancer Alley. Here, Shell petrochemicals pour out of smokestacks ... making lovely sunsets and asthmatic coughing fits. This film reveals two communities in Norco, Louisiana: the African-Americans who think the pollution from the local refinery is responsible for their health problems, and the white community who disagree. It gives a careful portrayal of race, class and pollution in Louisiana but goes beyond the controversy itself. "Fenceline" takes us into the homes of both black and white residents as they view television news reports out of New Orleans on the roiling controversy in their hometown. By turning its cameras on the local television news media coverage, "Fenceline" shows how the news affects those closest to the issue. This documentary takes us into exploration of the environmental struggle between industry and the people of Norco, Louisiana. The documentary allows both communities to speak their minds and thoughtfully examines the role of economics in the struggle between industry and environment. This documentary is an excellent example of what a community can do when it works together.
