YES. This is at least as good as Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

I want all you goons to watch this. Feel free and make fun of Burke over his huge lapels, and overall nerdy delivery, but PAY ATTENTION. I guarantee you'll learn something.

This is a documentary on Picher, OK. So much lead that kids take 8 times as long to learn certain things. Found it when I was on a superfund journey.

The Creek Runs Red

Description:
The EPA calls the mining town of Picher, Oklahoma the most toxic place in America, but a dwindling population still call it home. Today the town is divided by fears of serious health risks, environmental politics, civic pride and old racial tensions between Indian and white society. THE CREEK RUNS RED explores the human response to an environmental disaster and the complex connection between people and place.
I live about three hours away from Picher. I'm torn on whether I should head over there and photograph the heck out of the place. I'd probably get cancer before getting out of the car, but it's oddly beautiful.
