“An inspiring story of individual responsibility, civil disobedience, privilege and justice.
Cecile, EFA Programmer
Australian Premiere
After decades of failed climate policy, five activists travel to remote sites in the United States to halt the flow of over 2 million barrels of oil per day, evoking backlash from the fossil fuel industry and local authorities.
Charged with 27 felonies and 15 misdemeanors, this compelling documentary follows their protracted legal battles across Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana and Washington.
A stirring call to action that explores privilege and responsibility, this urgent story asks you to consider the rights of citizens and when is it okay for citizens to take action to protect their families, communities and ultimately the planet?
