UNITED STATES—Its epic on scale, and the attention that the city of Flint, Michigan is receiving in the midst of a water crisis is unlike anything I believe America has ever experienced.

UNITED STATES—Ok, so this is an issue I want to talk about because the wave of criticism has been overwhelming since last Thursday when the Oscar nominations were announced.
