U of Oregon Students Make Herbicide Documentary

Wikimedia

The University of Oregon Environmental Studies Program put a new class on its schedule in the academic year now ending... a class combining environmental justice and the media. 

So students learned about making documentaries on environmental issues. 

The first one finished is called "Drift", about aerial herbicide spraying that landed on people in the Gold Beach area in October 2013. 

Students Aylie Baker and Arica Sears join us with the goods on their project, along with Cedar Valley resident John Burns.
