Southern Exposure
Created in six weeks each summer, the Southern Exposure films celebrate special people and places in Alabama while exploring complex issues and solutions.
In the 2023 collection, we explore the Sipsey Wilderness through the eyes of a “city girl” and see why our special places need to be protected for all Alabamians. We learn about real wastewater solutions being implemented in the Black Belt, bringing justice to areas that have long been overlooked and underserved for these basic needs. We meet three Indigenous people who have felt the call to protect their land, and we will hold ADEM’s feet to the proverbial fire as we question why a landfill was left essentially unregulated for years, resulting in the Moody Landfill Fire that raged for months. Finally, we see just how precious the mussel is to our ecosystem, while learning about a project that would culminate in the most ecologically significant river reconnection project in the history of the United States, right here in Alabama.
Made possible through partnerships with environmental and conservation groups across the state, the Southern Exposure films give viewers a sense of how much Alabama has to offer and the importance of protecting all of its resources.
