Rosanna Xia, Los Angeles Times environmental journalist, Tufts alum, and founder of the FMS CJ Saraceno Memorial Scholarship, premiered her feature-length film, Out of Plain Sight at DOC NYC, the nation’s largest documentary film festival. The film is a cinematic expansion of a series of haunting reports by Xia, who broke the story that as many as half a million barrels of toxic waste had been quietly dumped into the ocean just off the coast of Los Angeles.
