For my fellow New Jerseyans, who may have missed this HBO documentary about the Ramapough Indian tribes (life and death) battle against Ford Motor Corp. to cleanup the toxic landfill in their community.

Viewers of "Mann v. Ford," the HBO documentary detailing an Upper Ringwood community’s battle against Ford Motor Co. and its toxic legacy, should be "outraged’’ and learn more about pollution in their own communities, one of the filmmakers said Tuesday in a live Web chat.
While many issues remain unresolved at the 500-acre Superfund site, the release of the film comes at a critical juncture in determining the final cleanup, which will affect generations to come, filmmaker Maro Chermayeff said the day after the film’s premiere.
In telling their story, the Ramapoughs have set an example that should inspire communities, especially in New Jersey which is home to the most Superfund sites in the nation.
