During the cold war, the united states military conducted covert weapons development testing in what the Army identified as a "densely populated slum district". The spraying of zinc cadmium sulfide along with what evidence suggests was a radiative substance centered on a region that included the Pruitt Igoe housing complex. The film Target St. Louis, which has won the Urban World Best Documentary award in New York was directed by actor and film maker Damien D. Smith.

A new documentary tells the story of the U.S. military's secret Cold War-era experiments in north St. Louis. Director Damien D. Smith says it relates to environmental racism affecting Black St. Louis residents.

Remember those trucks that use to ride through our neighborhoods spraying "pesticides"- turns out Big Momma was right.  It wasn't pesticides the government was spraying it was cancer-causing chemicals and black bodies were the test subjects.  This episode discusses what happened in a St Louis community and how the government used us as test subjects AGAIN.  The government has admitted its actions here yet neither compensation nor reparation has been introduced.

Actor and filmmaker Damien D. Smith is a lifelong storyteller. With more than 15 years of experience in theatre, television, and film, Smith is driven by both a responsibility to shed light on injustice and oppression and a deep-rooted passion for community, faith, and social activism. This empathy was sparked and fostered by his grandmother, who raised him in St. Louis, Missouri. Because of her influence, a message of acceptance and love to humanity is central to his work. Damien uses art as a tool to address sexism, racism, and bigotry and to shed light on the issues that affect communities that are historically underserved and undervalued. He explores themes such as mental illness, sexual abuse, and environmental racism in his work with the goal of engaging audiences in meaningful discussions on the subject matter. In addition to pursuing these themes in his work in theatre, film, and television, Damien lives these values through volunteer work and activism with a host of nonprofits across the country. His work in the community focuses on exposing young people and people of color to the arts, including work with Boys and Men of Color, teaching Film and Social Activism at California You Think. Smith's stage and television credits include the NAACP Theater Award-winning production of “12x9,” and most recently the television series “Snowfall” on Fx Networks and “The Purge”on USA networks. His directorial debut short narrative film entitled ABOUT THAT..., a powerful look at love through the eyes of a mentally disturbed young man won the Arts with Impact film Award. Smith's last short film Daddy's Big Girl won the Gentleman Jack Daniel's Reel to Real Filmmaker of the Year Awards. Smith resides in Los Angeles, where he is currently working on pre-production for his film feature film “The V (Victory High) ” and in pre-launch of his feature documentary film “Target: St. Louis, Vol. 1.” That focuses on Post WW2 the government conducting secret chemical test on poor of St. Louis Mo. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theactorslounge/support
