- Synopsis
At the edge of Chicago, where the steel mills once operated, sits an abandoned toxic slag hill that's been harming people, wildlife, and waterways for decades. Set against a backdrop of urban wilderness that's both seductively beautiful and poisoned, The Hills uses a lyrical lens to connect legacy pollution to current environmental struggles.
