MPR's Stephanie Hemphill has an update on the University of Minnesota's yanking of the "Troubled Waters" environmental documentary:
The Dean of the University of Minnesota School of Agriculture says the premiere of a film about pollution in the Mississippi River was postponed because it "vilifies agriculture." ...
Dean Al Levine said the film opens with a lot of drama, and spends too much time discussing agricultural pollution before considering any other sources of water pollution. ...
Levine says the film isn't inaccurate, but it's unbalanced. He said it should have included scientists who are trying to figure out how to feed 9 billion people by 2050.
