Bodies 1: Milwaukee Waters
Run Time: 5:05
2022
Bodies is a series shot on 16mm that explores the magic and life of public bodies of water.
Throughout the 1800s, the Milwaukee River was used to carry sewage into Lake Michigan. The many tanneries, breweries and other industries lining the water, poured their waste into the river without any water treatment. Much work has gone into cleaning the water in the past decades and into removing dams and flow barriers to increase fish passage. Much progress has been made and the water is much cleaner and safer than it used to be. However, the Milwaukee River Basin is still considered an area of concern (AOC). The main concern is the contaminants in the riverbed sediment such as PCBs, PAHs and heavy metals. Milwaukee Waters focuses on the beauty found and restored within this area with acknowledgment of the work still to be done.
