Pigeon River Stories
The Pigeon River flows from North Carolina into Tennessee just east of the Great Smoky Mountains in the southern Appalachians. Due to over a century of pollution from the paper mill industry in NC (Blue Ridge Paper, formally Champion Paper, in Canton, NC), there has been a continuing struggle to clean the river since the 1980's when the "Dead Pigeon River" council started being active and Tennessee state sued NC over the state of the river from toxic, deadly, poisonous pollution being dumped through the mill's waste processes. CWEET is proud to present this video created over a year by Jacob Judd at Tempsart Productions to share the story of the struggle of citizens and activists in both states who continue to fight for the health and safety of the water, of the people, and of the environment here on the Pigeon River.
