The state says the water is safe to drink, but many in Jackson still don\u2019t trust a system that has plagued them for decades. The documentary launches today, Dec. 16 at 10:30 p.m. ET on NBC News NOW and is also available to stream on Peacock and the NBC News YouTube channel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August 2022, the entire country took notice when a state of emergency was issued in Jackson after a water treatment plant failed, leaving more than 150,000 people in the city and surrounding areas without access to clean water. But the problems facing Jackson\u2019s water didn\u2019t begin in August \u2013 the city has long been plagued by infrastructure issues that have made clean and reliable water a constant challenge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <strong><em>Boiling Point: A City\u2019s Fight for Clean Water,<\/em><\/strong> Essamuah meets with city leaders \u2013 including interviews with <strong>Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba <\/strong>and<strong> U.S. Representative Bennie Thompson<\/strong> (D-Miss) \u2013 and community members in Jackson to examine how a U.S.state capital repeatedly struggles to deliver a resource that most Americans take for granted. In a state that resisted the desegregation of public schools until a Supreme Court order in 1969, resulting in white flight from Jackson, the documentary also examines why, for many in Jackson, failing to fulfill a basic human need such as clean water in a predominantly Black community suggests a legacy of racism at the heart of the problem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSomething that strikes me is that when you&#8217;re talking about water in Jackson, you&#8217;re never just talking about the water,\u201d says Essamuah. \u201cThe layers of the issues are compounding and it feels like Jackson is nearing not just a boiling point, but also a breaking point and this real opportunity for change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Boiling Point: A City\u2019s Fight for Clean Water <\/em><\/strong>launches today, Dec. 16 at 10:30 p.m. ET on NBC News NOW and is also available to stream on NBCNews.com, Peacock and the NBC News YouTube channel.
