Most of these I knew about, but not #GrassyNarrows

"Grassy Narrows mercury contamination (1960s)

For nearly a decade, the Dryden Mill’s chloralkali plant discharged up to 24,000 pounds of mercury into the #WabigoonRiver. It is regarded as one of the worst cases of industrial pollution in Canada’s history. Many people in the Grassy Narrows #FirstNation and #Whitedog First Nation communities were poisoned due to the contamination."

Remembering Curtis Lee Hanson (1945-2016), the Oscar-winning film / television director, screenwriter and producer, born in Nevada #OnThisDay. His writing credits included #TheDunwichHorror (1970), and Sam Fuller's exceptional #WhiteDog (1982), while his directorial career spanned from disturbing Corman-produced psychodrama #SweetKill (1973) to excellent neo-noirs #TheBedroomWindow (1987) and #LAConfidential (1997).
