Indian Point is the 17th film in WCF’s “Community Matters” series, an ongoing series dedicated to generating discussion and activism around topics that affect us locally, including health, environment, education, housing, and energy.
As we know, the future of Indian Point is a controversial and divisive topic in Westchester County. Indian Point features exclusive interviews with activists, environmentalists, energy company executives and unprecedented access to the plant and its employees. Filmmaker, Ivy Meeropol, creates a complex portrait of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, an aging facility with more than 50 million people living in close proximity.
After the film, Jacob Burns Film Center’s Brian Ackerman led a panel discussion with filmmaker Ivy Meeropol; journalist Roger Witherspoon; activist Marilyn Elie;and Brian Vangor of Indian Point. A reception followed in the Jane Peck Gallery to continue the conversations.
