"Steeling Berkeley" - pitch
Pacific Steel Casting Company has been located in West Berkeley For 75 years. For the past 20 years Berkeley residents have protested the foundry's practices, holding the company largely responsible for the poor air quality in the city. This film will explore the diverse perspectives of everyone involved, featuring interviews with Pacific Steel Representatives, persistent protesters, neighbors of the factory, and Bay Area Air Quality specialists. Through this documentary we are seeking to find the true cause of Berkeley's pollution, as well as what closing Pacific Steel could mean in our current economy. More importantly, what could keeping Pacific Steel mean for the future?
