 l Reaction tells the story of one of the most powerful and effective c
 ommunity initiatives in the history of North America. It started with 
 one lone voice in 1984. Dermatologist Dr. June Irwin noticed a connect
 ion between her patients’ health conditions and their exposure to ch
 emical pesticides and herbicides. Dr. Irwin’s persuasive arguments a
 nd data to back her findings eventually led the town of Hudson, Quebec
  to enact a by-law that banned the use of all chemical pesticides and 
 herbicides.\n\nsafelawns.org\n\nUrban Roots\n4:30 pm  93 min 2011\nDi
 rector: Mark McInnis\nThe industrial powerhouse of a lost American era
  has died, and the skeleton left behind is present-day Detroit. Now, a
 gainst all odds, in the empty lots, in the old factory yards, and in b
 etween the sagging blocks of company housing, seeds of change are taki
 ng root. A small group of dedicated citizens, allied with environmenta
 l and academic groups, have started an urban environmental movement wi
 th the potential to transform, not just a city after its collapse, but
  also a country after the end of its industrial age.\n\ntreemedia.com\
