{"product_id":"appointments-jessyca-mathews-9781720845805","title":"Appointments: A Flint Water Crisis Account","description":"Appointments focuses in on The Flint Water Crisis from the point of view of a doctor's office. The narrator, a nurse, provides insight while the families share their stories. This play is appropriate for high school and middle grades. College drama programs may wish to adapt it for a younger adult audience as well. The play zeroes in on the facts such as: since April 2014, between 6,000-12,000 children have been exposed to toxic levels of lead that may lead to serious health issues in their futures including emotional and behavioral side effects as well as nutritional deficiencies. The poisonous water is also a probable cause of Legionnaires disease which has killed 10 people and infected at least 77 adults since 2014. Additionally it's a likely factor in the uprise of Flint area miscarriages since 2014 amongst the women in Flint community. At this point, people are finally being charged with crimes and the water is continuously tested, but politicians still are not helping like the community has begged and the sense of mistrust pervades society. This issue does not heed social status, race, ethnicity, sex, gender, or education-it affects us all. It is a humanity issue and this play appoints the audience as activists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessyca Mathews, Dequindra Renae, Carrie Mattern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1720845808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781720845805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.30d","brand":"Jessyca Mathews","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126157340927,"sku":"9781720845805","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfa10c9d-eb47-4986-98a5-56bca1ccf78f.jpg?v=1687446586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/appointments-jessyca-mathews-9781720845805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
