The Film: ACCESS TO OXYGEN is a 60 minute screener compiled from 4 programs out of Deep Dish TV's 22 year-old grassroots television archive. These programs represent some of the best work to come directly out of the Environmental Justice movement. Many were produced either by or in collaboration with the activists doing on-the-ground organizing over the last two decades.
