Why ‘Flint 6’ Filmmaker Rejected $3.75 Million To Maintain Film’s Integrity

yeunonesforflint:

“Flint 6” tells the story of how young residents of Flint took matters into their own hands to demand change and reparations after government officials were criticized for their inadequate leadership. The title of the drama is a reference to the six state officials who were criminally charged for their roles in the water crisis.

“It’s a redemption story,” Green, a Flint native, told HuffPost, explaining that he doesn’t want the public to only see Flint residents as victims of the crisis. “These people are so resilient that they’re victors as well. I want to show that side, I want to show them taking things into their own hands and being victorious.”

For Green, that meant actually filming in Flint to help better capture the events that unfolded as lead-contaminated water was discovered throughout the city.
