Lisa Katzman's documentary traces what happened after the EPA told New York that the air around Ground Zero was safe, and what that assurance cost the people who worked there. Whistleblowers including journalist Juan Gonzalez and EPA analyst Hugh Kaufman appear, alongside John Feal, the responder who organized the push for the Zadroga Act. Film Forum is presenting it on the 25th commemoration of the attacks.
