- Summary:
- This film tells the story of this disaster and investigates the devastating public health impacts caused by the dereliction of duty on the part of the EPA, the Bush administration, and the Giuliani administration to respond appropriately to widespread toxic contamination and cancer cases amongst first responders in the aftermath of 9/11. The film follows the epic battle fought by sick and dying 9/11 responders as they spent years advocating for the passage of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act to pay for their costly health care, and to compensate their families for their disabilities and deaths. American political pundit Jon Stewart, a long-time advocate for 9/11 responders, joined the fight when he retired from hosting The Daily Show in 2015.
