Ellen Page blasts Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau for 'environmental racism' in new documentary
Ellen Page accused President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of “environmental racism” for their respective approaches to climate change.
The “X-Men” and “Umbrella Academy” actress makes her directorial debut in the documentary “There’s Something in the Water,” which hits Netflix on Friday. In it, she explores the concept of environmental racism in her native country of Canada.
“Environmental racism is essentially the disproportionate placement of landfills, hazardous industry, et cetera, put next to indigenous and black and other marginalized communities,” Page explained during a recent appearance on Variety’s iHeart podcast.
