After uproar, 'Troubled Waters' to be shown

The University of Minnesota has reversed course on showing a documentary about the causes and environmental impact of water pollution.

University officials said Thursday that the premiere of the film "Troubled Waters" would go on as originally planned on October 3. Just a week ago, the U canceled the premiere, saying the film needed further review.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Alex Friedrich who writes about higher education for MPRNewsQ.org's "On Campus" blog.
