Black River - China
November 18th, 2008

June 1996 The River Huai, like many rivers in China, can no longer supply local agriculture with its lifeblood - water. A lethal chemical cocktail has left white, effervescent foam bubbling along its surface. But the determination of central government to clean up the black, polluted river by the year 2000 meets with resistance. Local government is torn between a clean river or environmental checks on economic development. Paper factories supporting 20,000 people profit by disposing sludgy pollutants in the river. Hard access footage reveals that even a 'model' factory hoses frothy, evil smelling water into the Huai. A fisherman on a nearby house boat has not caught a fish in ten years. He dissolves aluminium compounds in a bucket of river water just to purify it for household chores. In the city of Bengbu a restaurateur keeps his customers happy by rinsing his vegetables in bottled mineral water. Secret interviews show that local people believe it will be impossible to clean the river up by 2000.

Paper Bird Crew's "Black River" directed by alex Castañeda
November 18th, 2008

a music video I directed for my friends in Toronto, Paper Bird Crew My mother a black river Carrying her dark waters Down to the valley where sun never shines My father is fire And I've never seen him I've heard that on Earth he's a really big star I was born on the night I was born in the hour When sea spirits leave their home looking for each other Now I'm left here Until I can find The strange purpose of my life
