What folks are saying about The Erie Situation:
"The Erie Situation is both a stunning piece of filmmaking and a powerful indictment of the forces that are sickening Lake Erie." - Great Lakes Author, Dave Dempsey "On the Brink: The Great Lakes in the 21st Century"
"A searing look at a Great Lake going bad. Essential viewing for the millions of Midwesterners whose health is tied to the health of the Great Lakes, whether they know it or not." - Journalist/Author, Dan Egan "The Death and Life of the Great Lakes"
A typical February evening on the West Bank of the Flats is pretty quiet. Not so during Brite Winter. The non-profit festival brings together people of all ages, incomes and backgrounds, allowing them to discover new music and art and enjoy their community. Spanning ten years, three locations, tens of thousands of guests, hundreds of bands and artists, and temperatures as low as 8 and as high as 69 degrees—Brite Winter has always been a festival created with the community, not just for it.
