Lead in the Land

Lead in the Land is a documentary which focuses on the harsh reality and far-reaching effects of lead poisoning, an invisible and insidious threat afflicting thousands of children in Cleveland. The film sheds light on the circumstances around lead poisoning, examining its causes, effects and potential solutions. The film is produced in collaboration with the MetroHealth Systems' Institute for H.O.P.E.™, Center for Arts in Health and School Health Program.

Lead in the Land is supported by the Urgent Art Fund administered by SPACES and supported by residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. 

Produced as part of 10Children -art for change-,  a global, interdisciplinary art project bringing awareness to the impact of poverty on children's lives around the world.
