A compelling portrait of a poor and mainly African-American community living in the shadow of the Texan oil industry. With the ongoing release of millions of tons of toxic pollutants into the air from poorly regulated oil refineries and petro-chemical plants, residents are told to "Shelter in Place" by staying in their homes and taping up their windows and doors. Communities living on the fence-line of Texan industry are usually low income and powerless to protest. This film is an intimate portrait of a community battling against environmental pollution and unfettered corporate power.
