Living Downstream
A new documentary film details the life and work of ecologist and cancer survivor, Sandra Steingraber
 
Living Downstream is an eloquent feature-length documentary that charts the life and work of ecologist, cancer survivor and cancer prevention activist, Sandra Steingraber.
 
The film is based on Steingraber's book of the same name, and, like the book, documents the the growing body of scientific evidence that links human health with the health of our environment.  Part scientific exploration, part personal journey, the film follows Steingraber during a pivotal year in her life as an ecologist, speaking to groups across North America about cancer prevention, and as a cancer survivor, when she receives ambiguous results from a cancer screening test.  The film captures this movement between the scientific and the personal which is also a hallmark of Steingraber's work.
 
The film is directed by Chanda Chevannes of the People's Picture Company.  Advanced screenings of Living Downstream will be held in select North American cities in Spring 2010.  To celebrate the documentary adaptation of Living Downstream, Da Capo Press will be releasing an updated second edition of the book in April 2010.
