「今天的水還不是最黑的,平時的顏色其實更黑,有時甚至是紅色或藍色的。」

當地居民大聲地說著家門前的小溪。(一個不能讓孩子靠近的小溪)城市的發展,或許帶來了便利性的提升,很多瑣事不再需要個體勞心處理,也為我們省去不少時間,然而這些便捷性在不被監督或沒有意識下卻儼然成為嚴重的問題。

那天,走過中壢工業區的黃墘溪準備做拍攝及水質採檢時被當地的居民攔下,劈頭就問我們是不是要來做水質採樣的團隊,曉得我們沒有惡意後便開始跟我們分享與惡水為鄰的故事,那些鮮少人主動在乎的「他家的事」。

在訪談的過程中,我們能聽出媽媽的無奈,我們希望能讓更多人聽見。


The local resident said loudly about the stream in front of their house. (A small stream that children was not allowed to get close to) The development of the city might have brought the improvement of convenience. Many trivial matters no longer needed to be dealt with by individuals, and it also saved us a lot of time. However, these conveniences are not being supervised. Without realizing it, it seemed to be a serious problem.

On that day, we were stopped by local residents while preparing for filming and the water quality testing. After knowing that we were not malicious, they started to share stories about the polluted waters, those 'other people's business' that few people care about. During the interview, we could hear the helplessness, and we hope that more people can hear it.
'Today's water is not the darkest. The usual color is actually darker, sometimes even red or blue.'
