The Warriors of Qiugang, a film co-produced by Yale Environment 360 and featured exclusively on its Web site, has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject). This e360 video report, co-produced with filmmakers Ruby Yang and Thomas Lennon and shot in China, was among the Oscar nominees announced last week. The film chronicles the story of the Chinese village of Qiugang and its battle against a polluting chemical factory. “This is a tremendous honor for Yale Environment 360,” said e360 editor Roger Cohn. “And we hope this helps bring attention to the brave stand of the people of Qiugang.”
