About the film:
The lucrative metallurgical coal industry has polluted water in BC and the United States for decades, threatening the culture of the transboundary Ktunaxa Nation. As the problem reaches the international stage through investigation under the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909, regulators face a pivotal choice: continue to protect industry, or rise to protect the water, people, and future of this watershed.
Film director Jennifer Ekstrom states, “this film confronts the ongoing environmental failures of governments, and amplifies a powerful Indigenous vision for justice, accountability, and restoration. The historic Boundary Waters Treaty investigation, which includes the Ktunaxa Nation at the government’s negotiation table, gives us rare hope for accountability for the coal industry in British Columbia.”
