Description
For over three decades, one woman's fight for clean air became a national conversation about environmental justice.
In the 1980s, Jennie Shearan united her community in Hebburn, North East England, to challenge the hazardous pollution from Monkton Coke Works. Her determination and courage galvanised her town and brought attention to the plight of residents living with acrid sulphur dioxide emissions and soot.
This inspiring true story chronicles Jennie's unwavering commitment to securing environmental equity for her community, as she battled against a negligent big energy firm, governmental bodies, and institutional sexism.
