Watch the Recordings for Shale and Public Health Conference (session by session)


Hello Reader,

This year I had the chance to collaborate with a professional video production crew on the live stream, and people noticed it immediately.

When you watch the recording you can easily see the speaker, view the slides while they're presenting, and easy to hear everyone.

Enjoy!

Sincerely,
Ryan

Confronting Environmental Injustice Through Film (Keynote)

Bilal Motley — Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker from Chester, PA.

My presentation explores how growing up in an environmental justice community like Chester, PA, and losing my mother to cancer there at 29 when I was six, shaped my work as a documentary filmmaker. It also looks at how I found my voice after the South Philly oil refinery where I worked exploded in 2019 and what followed afterward.
