Desc: What Price Clean Air?: Directed by Robert Richter. With Robert Richter. Clean air v. industry profits and the White House. National Emmy finalist, investigative documentaries. A hard-hitting investigative documentary of industry efforts, in cooperation with the Republican controlled U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to weaken the Clean Air Act. The film exposed the phony claims of concern for protecting the environment by the Reagan administration, the same kind of hypocritical line fed to the media and the public by the Bush White House. It was not long after telecast of this documentary that the head of EPA of that era resigned. Included in the film are industry and government advocates, air pollution victims and scientists trying to cope with acid rain. Filmed in the Pittsburgh PA area, Los Angeles, Japan, Sweden, Canada and England.
