Acid Rain Video

[Merilyn1]

One of our teachers has been looking for a video about acid rain. At her previous school, they had it on Clickview and she thinks it was called Acid Assault. She has been searching in vain on Youtube but only finds videos of people who have been assaulted with acid - not quite what she was after! She says it was quite old (made in the 80s - is that really quite old, what does that make me?) and it featured a lake in Canada.

Anyone have any ideas of this? It would be good to give her some more details so she has a better chance of finding in on the internet.

call clickview and ask them for the name etc.
