Impact Stories: Dysmocracy: The Fight Over Fluoride | Film 1

Our first film from the Impact Stories series is set in Port Angeles, WA.
follows an intense local debate over water fluoridation that gets so heated it threatens to destroy the town government, one of hundreds of fights over fluoride that have played out across the country. But this is about much more than fluoride – it’s about how passions over one issue can hijack political discussion, and how that leads to the broader struggle over science, trust, civil liberties, and democratic decision-making.

Audiences will be able to respond to the film in real time and share their thoughts during conversation with the filmmakers throughout the screening.

Dysmocracy will be presented with open captions.
