"The Big Dump" Our Pacific Ocean Sewage Crisis Documentary

The Big Dump is a film centered around the worst environmental crisis in the history of the United States.

The sewage spill in Mexico into San Diego is a significant environmental issue that has been ongoing for almost 90 years. The source of the sewage spill is the Tijuana River, which flows through Mexico and into California, eventually emptying into our Pacific Ocean.

The leading cause of the sewage spill is a combination of outdated infrastructure and the buildup of debris in the Tijuana River, such as trash and sediment. An increase in population within the Tijuana Valley is also grounds for the increased sewage. During heavy rainfall or storms, the river overflows, releasing 250,000,000 gallons of untreated sewage into the ocean, specifically affecting the coastline of San Diego.

The sewage spill poses numerous health and environmental hazards. The untreated sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and toxins that threaten marine life, pets, and humans.

The pollution negatively impacts the fragile coastal ecosystem, leading to the loss of marine biodiversity and water quality degradation. The airborne bacteria find this way into the lungs of the West Coast, consistently leading to serious illnesses.

It is time to turn this crisis over to the people. It is up to all of us to protect our environment. This film would also help the city of Tijuana, Mexico, residents live healthier and more sanitary life. It is our duty as human beings to save this planet. Every citizen of the United States of America has a stake in the Pacific Ocean.

We need your help with this film to address and find a solution to this crisis.

Efforts to address the sewage spill and prevent further damage have been initiated by the Mexican and U.S. governments, local organizations, and activists. However, the situation is only getting worse.

The sewage spill in Mexico, flowing into San Diego, is a pressing problem that demands immediate attention and urgent action to safeguard the ecosystem's health and protect the coastal communities that rely on clean and safe waters.

This is a Call to Action for those in a place of wealth. The people have to rise!!!
