Filmmaker Lisa Katzman is currently working
on AFTER DISASTERS, a documentary that examines the health and
environmental impacts of two of the worst man-made disasters in American
history: 9/11 and the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The massive public
denial and deceptions by politicians and regulatory agencies in connection to
both disasters have resulted in avoidable suffering for hundreds of thousands of
Americans affected by toxic conditions, as well as dangerous environmental
degradation. Lisa participated in and documented many of the trips taken to
Washington DC with the 9/11 responders in
support of the Zadroga Act.
AFTER DISASTERS tells the story of
disaster survivors in New York and in the Gulf Coast region who are leading the
battles for just health care and compensation, environmental testing and
remediation, transparency on the part of governmental agencies, and
implementation of existing EPA and OSHA regulations in the aftermath of future
disasters. You can find out more about the film, and view a five-minute trailer
