Documentary to feature Fall River residents, Quequechan River Rail Trail

Salud America! has announced it will film a documentary about the inner city multi-use rail trail known as the Alfred J. Lima Quequechan River Rail Trail in Fall River.

Filming will take place on Thursday, July 5, 2018.

Several key topics will be covered such as the history of the trail and the river that gives it its name, the importance of the trail for the low-income neighborhoods it travels through, the use of the path to improve the lives of the people who utilize it and the fight a local citizen’s group has taken up to protect the path from a proposed construction of a private road that would cross and run parallel to it.

Salud America! plans to film interviews with citizens who are leading the fight to protect the trail and users of the trail including Brian Pearson, Alfred Lima, and two users of the trail.

Salud America! is a national Latino-focused organization based out of San Antonio that creates culturally relevant and research-based stories, videos, and tools to inspire people to start and support healthy changes to policies, systems, and environments where Latino children and families can equitably live, learn, work, and play.

The documentary video is expected to be released in September 2018 at www.salud-america.org.
