Welcome

Welcome to our virtual edition of Friday Freeview. As you may know, on the third Friday of each month, Maryland Public Television hosts a free screening of a program before it airs. This month we are going virtual.

If you've attended a Friday Freeview before, you know we offer some snacks to go along with your viewing experience. Even though we are not together, we encourage you to bring your own snacks!

Chesapeake Bay Week 2020

After the Storm: Pollution in the Potomac

Whenever it rains in Washington, D.C., raw sewage spills into the Potomac River. These Combined Sewer Overflows release pollutants like fecal coliform bacteria and e. coli into the waterway sickening animals, fish, and humans, and depleting the oxygen levels causing harmful algal blooms. An outdated sewer system is to blame. “After the Storm: Pollution in the Potomac” investigates the all-too-common problem of wastewater overflows, and reveals a remarkable network of underground tunnels being constructed below the nation’s capital to try to stem the toxic tide that threatens the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. Produced by: American University Center for Environmental Filmmaking ​Maryland Public Television Executive Producer: John Paulson
