    Exposing the Unspoken

    Over the past four years, we have established strategic alliances throughout the United States, concentrating on Southern Company (SoCo) and its subsidiaries - Mississippi Power, Alabama Power, and Georgia Power - and their influence within their respective states. The documentary “Exposing the Unspoken” chronicles the evolution of our movement, tracing our journey from inception to the expansion of our coalition across the Southeast and beyond. Together, we formed the Power 4 Southern People NOT Southern Company campaign to change the narrative and proclaim, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!” This documentary chronicles our movement and the stories of individuals and communities affected by the unfair billing and predatory practices of Southern Company, highlighting our efforts to hold them accountable for their detrimental practices and damage done.

    WASHED - A Fight for Environmental Justice

    Produced by Executive Producers The People's Justice Council and Arm in Arm, this M-Line Media production focuses on a historic Black community and its struggle for environmental justice. Nestled in a land marked by unyielding injustice lies a rural Black community known as Shilo, which translates to "peace." Located just outside Enterprise, Alabama, and near the neighboring city of Elba, Shilo faces significant challenges. Elba is also notable as the birthplace of Dr. Robert Bullard, recognized as the Father of Environmental Justice. Shilo is an unincorporated community in Coffee County, home to fewer than 4,000 residents. In 2017, the Alabama Department of Transportation began expanding Highway 84, transforming it from a two-lane road into a four-lane highway. While the project has been completed, it has left Shilo grappling with flooding issues due to the poor design of the elevated roadway. This is the story of a community's fight for environmental justice, filled with hope and resilience.

    Tell Your Neighbor: Bessemer Residents vs Project Marvel

    Executive Producers: The People's Justice Council & Efunyale Productions Production by: M-Line Media Tell Your Neighbor tells the story of a small community standing up to big tech and pushing back against Project Marvel, a $14.5 billion hyper-scale data center project with 18 buildings the size of 18 super Walmarts, that will ripple through not just Bessemer, but surrounding communities and the state of Alabama. Concerns raised include issues of land usage, health concerns related to noise, light, and water pollution, as well as increased energy costs from fossil fuels to cool these data centers. Community members are fed up with the lack of transparency and community collaboration from city officials and note that they are not able to have their voices heard. The purpose of this documentary is to give them that voice. Our goal is also to encourage other communities to stand up and make their voices heard.
