Oscar Winners Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin to Exec Produce Doc About the Fight to Save Utah’s Great Salt Lake (EXCLUSIVE)


Oscar Winners Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin will executive produce documentary "Terminal," about the fight to save Utah's Great Salt Lake.

Beneath the drying lakebed of Great Salt Lake lies a toxic reservoir of heavy metals – arsenic, lead, mercury, and more – poised to become airborne, endangering the millions of people living in the metropolitan region of Utah called the Wasatch Front. Utah now stands at a pivotal moment – an unprecedented opportunity to defy the odds, rewrite the narrative, and create a model for environmental resilience. “’Terminal’ follows science being done in real time at a make-or-break moment in Utah’s environmental history, and Abby is tackling the story in an incredibly cinematic and engaging way,” says Harrop.”Our mission at Sandbox is to illuminate the art and beauty of scientific inquiry, and this film is a bullseye for the type of content we are thrilled to support.”
