"The Warriors of Qiugang," a film co-produced by MacArthur grantee Yale Environment 360 and showing exclusively on its website, has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary (short subject). Co-produced with filmmakers Ruby Yang and Thomas Lennon, it tells the story of a Chinese village's fight to shut down a chemical factory that is turning the local river black, killing fish and wildlife, and filling the air with foul fumes that burned residents' eyes and throats and sickened children.
