TRAILER: Status Coup's "Flint Fatigue" Documentary
As the ONGOING Flint water crisis marks its decade anniversary, Jordan Chariton reports ON-THE-GROUND in Flint for the 20th time—showing Flint is still a disaster zone abandoned by government & media
Hey folks, it’s Jordan.
I’m excited to announce our upcoming documentary, “Flint Fatigue,” which will be released on Sunday April 28. The documentary, made to mark the 10-year-anniversary of the ONGOING Flint water crisis, shows that Flint is, frankly, still a disaster zone…one that has been abandoned by the government and the media.
Flint Fatigue will feature brand new ON-THE-GROUND reporting from yours truly (along with some my past Flint reporting). The interviews—as well as BAD ASS drone camera footage—was shot by Status Coup videojournalist Jon Farina. And I’m excited to say, filmmaker Ty Bayliss, who was Status Coup’s original cameraman and producer, is producing and directing the documentary. The documentary will be free for everyone—while paying Status Coup members will be able to watch the full interviews shot for the documentary as well as behind-the-scenes footage on our Flint Fatigue website!
This documentary is important—it also cost us nearly $4,000 dollars to produce (costs for on-the-ground reporting in Flint + paying Ty to produce the documentary). There are NO OTHER independent outlets doing this kind of work. If you want us to be able to continue this reporting, you can support us for as low as 16 cents a day. You can also donate any amount.
WATCH AND SHARE the documentary trailer!
