The Huntsville Human Rights Film Festival officially kicks off Thursday, March 31, 7:00 pm with the public premiere of Angel of Alabama, a documentary featuring Lawrence County activist Brenda Hampton who stood up to corporations and led the charge to heal her community of dangerous water contaminants. Ms. Hampton will join the Festival with documentary producer Elijah Yetter Bowman. Bowman will also preview the forthcoming feature-length film, GENX: A Chemical Cocktail.
During the production of the feature film GenX, the film crew met Brenda Hampton, a truly remarkable activist serving communities in North Alabama. Her story moved us and with her gracious permission, we decided to produce a separate short film highlighting her work. Brenda is one-of-a-kind and simply breathes love into everything she does. It is our honor to help share her story with the world. Brenda Hampton is the founder of Concerned Citizens of North Alabama Grassroots.
