The Reeds are the very picture of the white, post-war American nuclear family of myth, and their home is a refuge from the dangers - both ethnic and epidemiological - invoked by the film’s title. Kazan effectively isolated the family from both native and cosmopolitan New Orleans. It looks nothing like the Creole cottages or shotgun houses you still find all over New Orleans, or like the posh two-story townhouses in the Garden District.

Nobody has counted, but there are probably tens of thousands of EJCs in big cities and small towns in every part of the country. Global warming has made these impacts even worse, for example by flooding mines and factories, spreading toxic agents into adjacent residential neighborhoods. Whereas poverty and discrimination typically expose people to substandard housing, poor municipal services and street crime, industrial pollution in EJC communities additionally subjects residents to discomfort, ugliness, and disease. Another way of putting it is that residents in these neighborhoods are the screwed of the screwed. Environmental Justice Communities (EJC) are non-white or working-class neighborhoods that have been flooded, burned, poisoned, or impoverished by the petrochemical, biomedical, transportation, real estate, timber, animal agriculture, or financial service industries.
