New Mexico's rivers and nine others throughout the US are endangered after the Supreme Court stripped safeguards from the Clean Air and Water Act. The rivers provide drinking water to residents and could become polluted from industrial mines and pollution run-off from wastewater treatment plants.

Residents of Imperial City, a small town just 20 minutes from San Diego, have been exposed to sea spray and aerosol particles emanating from the polluted ocean daily. More than 100 billion gallons of untreated wastewater have flowed through Mexico's Tijuana River and into the Pacific Ocean, eventually capturing the coastal town over the past five years. Shannon Johnson, 45, who has lived a few blocks away from the beach since 2010, told CBS that neither she nor her two children, aged 9 and 10, never set foot on the sand this year. 'Every time we go by the beach they're asking, 'Is it going to be clean?When are they going to fix it?'' Johnson was a fan of the film.
