For decades, Imperial Valley has been promised cleaner air, healthier communities, and meaningful environmental protection. Government agencies and large industrial projects have made commitments to improve public health—but too often, those promises have remained unfulfilled.
Promises Were Made, produced by Comite Civico del Valle, shares the voices and concerns of a community that has waited far too long for real action. This short film reflects on what was promised, what has been delivered, and why accountability is critical for the future of Imperial Valley.
