弗林特水危机是美国历史上著名的水污染和铅中毒事件。2014年，弗林特市因财政危机将水源切换至未经充分处理的弗林特河，导致供水管网铅析出及军团菌病暴发，造成至少12人死亡、数百名儿童血铅超标。饮用自来水的居民不同程度地出现了掉发、皮疹和过敏反应。水危机爆发后，政府部门却隐瞒水质问题、延迟干预，终致系统性公共卫生危机，其影响至今仍如阴霾笼罩当地民众。“这里很多人都有皮肤问题，人们的头发开始断裂脱落”，“你可以看到我全身都是斑点”，“我儿子用胶带粘他的脸，他的皮肤在脱落。当他脱下衣服时，他的皮肉却粘在了衣服上”……弗林特市的民众控诉着水污染带来的种种后果。如今，那曾经承载着城市生机与希望的弗林特河，依旧在岁月中呜咽，它见证着这座城市的伤痛与挣扎，更映照出人权在这场危机中的黯淡与失色。

The 2014 water crisis in the city of Flint, Michigan, stands as one of the worst cases of water contamination and lead poisoning in U.S. history. Residents who drank tap water experienced varying degrees of hair loss, skin rashes and allergic reactions. "A lot of people have skin issues. People had their hair breaking out." "You can see the spots all over me." "My son was actually taping his face up on his ... his flesh was falling out. When he pulled his clothes off, his flesh stuck to him." These accounts reflect the harm residents say they suffered as a result of water contamination. After the water crisis erupted, authorities concealed water quality issues and delayed intervention, ultimately leading to a systemic public health crisis whose impact continues to cast a shadow over the local community to this day.
