Synopsis
Unnatural Disaster carefully unravels a story of environmental tragedy, corporate secrecy, and grassroots activism. It is the story of Anniston, Alabama — a town poisoned quietly, relentlessly, for decades by the very industry that promised it prosperity.
Featuring vivid personal accounts from victims, insights from historians, and scientific clarity from PCB experts, the film documents both Anniston’s painful past and its ongoing fight against new threats like PFAS — the so-called “forever chemicals.”
Deeply human and meticulously researched, Unnatural Disaster offers an unflinching look at the collision between progress, profit, and public health — and the community that refused to look away.
