0:00industrial smokestack
The scene opens with a close-up, slightly low-angle shot of a single, grey industrial smokestack. Thick, billowing white smoke or steam vigorously erupts from its top, obscuring the upper portion of the stack and fading into a dull, overcast sky that transitions from light grey to a slightly darker shade at the horizon. The framing emphasizes the sheer volume of the emission. The lighting is soft and diffuse, indicating an overcast day, with no harsh shadows. The dominant colors are muted greys and off-whites, creating a somber and polluted atmosphere. White text is overlaid horizontally in the center of the frame: "Access to clean air and water was taken from the residents of Wilmington, CA."
0:01industrial plant sunset
This shot presents a medium-wide view of a sprawling industrial plant at what appears to be either sunrise or sunset, bathing the scene in warm, golden light. Multiple tall, narrow smokestacks and complex pipe structures dominate the right side of the frame, with visible steam or smoke rising from several points against a soft, hazy sky. The plant appears to be massive, stretching into the background. The lighting is low and warm, casting a gentle glow on the metallic structures and the rising emissions, with soft shadows. The overall color palette is a blend of warm oranges, deep greys, and pale whites from the steam. The same white text from the previous scene, "Access to clean air and water was taken from the residents of Wilmington, CA.", remains overlaid in the center.

0:09woman raising hand questions
A medium shot focuses on a young woman with long, dark hair, wearing a dark top, with her right arm raised high above her head in response to a question. Her facial expression is serious and attentive as she looks slightly to the right, off-camera. To her right, another young woman in a red t-shirt with long dark hair is visible, looking forward.

White text overlaid: "Bronchitis? Headaches? Nosebleeds? Scratchy throats?" Each question appears sequentially.
0:11aerial industrial chemicals
An aerial shot presents a wide view of an extensive industrial complex, likely an oil refinery, sprawling across the landscape. Numerous large cylindrical storage tanks, intricate pipe networks, and various industrial structures are visible under an overcast or hazy sky. The overall color palette is a mix of muted greys, metallic silver, and dull earth tones from the ground. The lighting is flat and diffused, with no strong highlights or shadows, suggesting an overcast day. A dense overlay of white text fills the entire screen, consisting of various chemical names like 'acetaldehyde', 'sulfuric acid', 'formaldehyde', 'toxic', 'polycyclic aromatic', 'nitric oxide', creating a visually overwhelming and alarming effect that emphasizes the unseen dangers associated with the plant.
0:13residential industrial overlap
This is a wide shot, taken from a slightly elevated ground perspective, showing a clear juxtaposition of residential homes and a massive industrial plant. On the left, several houses with manicured lawns and parked cars line a street, with lush green trees and shrubs. Immediately behind these homes, on the right, the industrial complex rises, featuring tall distillation columns and numerous storage tanks, some emitting faint plumes of smoke or steam. The sky is slightly hazy with scattered clouds. The lighting is natural daylight, fairly bright, with distinct shadows from the trees and buildings. The color palette includes vibrant greens from the foliage, muted tones of the houses, and the metallic greys and off-whites of the industrial structures. White text, "And our council member has yet to do a single thing about it.", is overlaid at the bottom center of the frame.
0:14aerial oil rig residential
An overhead aerial shot reveals a residential neighborhood with a disturbing sight: an active oil drilling rig situated directly among houses. The rig, a tall, reddish-brown structure with scaffolding, is prominently located in the center of the frame within what appears to be a cleared lot between several suburban homes. Houses with various roof colors (grey, brown) and small yards are visible all around it. A paved street runs along the bottom, with a single black car parked. The lighting is bright and clear, indicating daylight, with visible shadows from the houses and the rig. The color palette is a mix of green (trees, grass), brown (rig, dry patches), and the muted tones of the residential buildings. The white text, "And our council member has yet to do a single thing about it.", continues to be overlaid at the bottom center of the frame.
0:16youth overlooking plant
A wide shot, taken from a slightly low angle, shows a group of about five young people, including children, standing and sitting on a grassy hill in the foreground, silhouetted against a hazy, atmospheric background. Their backs are mostly to the camera, and they appear to be observing something. Beyond the hill, a large industrial complex with multiple tall towers and smokestacks looms under a pale, diffused sky, with visible smoke or steam. The lighting is soft and ethereal, possibly early morning or late afternoon, creating a strong silhouette effect on the figures and contributing to a somber, reflective mood. The dominant colors are muted greens of the grass, the dark silhouettes, and the pale, hazy greys of the sky and industrial structures. No text is present in this scene.
0:17aerial city and refinery
A high aerial wide shot provides a sweeping view of a vast urban landscape stretching towards the horizon under a soft, slightly overcast sky. In the foreground, a massive oil refinery complex dominates, identifiable by its numerous large storage tanks, industrial structures, and network of pipes. The refinery is intricately connected to the surrounding city, with residential and commercial buildings visible extending outwards. A hint of green hills or mountains can be seen in the far distance under the pale sky. The lighting is natural daylight, showing a broad, even illumination across the city and industrial site. The color palette is varied, featuring the metallic greys and whites of the refinery, the muted browns and greens of the urban sprawl, and the pale blue-grey of the sky. White text, "Demand a 2,500-foot buffer between our families and urban oil drilling.", is overlaid in the center of the frame.
0:21aerial city and refinery cta
This scene is a continuation of the previous high aerial wide shot, maintaining the same expansive view of the urban landscape with the sprawling oil refinery in the foreground. The city extends towards the horizon, showcasing a dense network of residential and commercial buildings under a soft, slightly overcast sky. The visual elements remain consistent: numerous large storage tanks, industrial structures, and the overall metallic and earthy tones of the urban environment. The lighting is still natural and even, without harsh shadows. The color palette continues to be a mix of industrial greys, urban browns and greens, and a pale sky. The previous text, "Demand a 2,500-foot buffer between our families and urban oil drilling.", is replaced by new white text: "Add Your Voice." This call to action is centered on the screen.
