Overview
Our clean waters are being depleted from unbridled pollution, which is making us ill and die prematurely. In America a new movement is bringing attention to the state of our waters. 'Water Protectors' explores how contamination of water in two communities and the threat to another, has united people from across the USA and the world to prevent further poisoning. Tomorrow it could be you unwittingly drinking poison water with no recourse for remedy or justice.  It might be already.

Water Protectors

(a documentary film)

Water is life. What’s in yours? 'Water Protectors' exposes the struggle across America for clean water. From Flint to the the Navajo Tribal Lands and Standing Rock, people are uniting and protesting against the powers of the state who are in collusion with corporations and are polluting our waters. It's greed and profit versus life. This is the issue of our time.

 

Documentary OverView

Clean Water the Issue of our time. Through this documentary we hope to expose the truth behind the clean water crisis in America. This film specifically focuses on the events at Standing Rock, Flint, and Navajo reservations, but the issues revealed are global.
