The 2021 WJL season involved monthly water testing and the production of a video piece, “Home Along the Hudson.” In this short film, Water Justice Lab Fellows, along with their media mentor, Catherine Rafferty, tell the story of growing up in North Troy, their environmental stewardship and how they are using science to protect and heal their community. The youth scientists’ story transforms negative stereotypes of the economically oppressed and environmentally devastated neighborhood into a compelling message of environmental justice and hope.
