Minneapolis, Minnesota
As part of the City Pages Get Real: Documentary Film Festival, a
work-in-progress of "Green Green Water" will be screened on Saturday, November
5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lagoon Cinema in Uptown Minneapolis (a synopsis of the
film is below). Pimicikamak Chief Miswagon from northern Manitoba will be there
to answer questions from the audience.
This is NOT a premiere, but an opportunity for audience feedback during a
critical stage of the edit of this film.
Single tickets ($8) are available an hour before screening time. Festival
passes can be purchased on the City Pages website.
Manitoba Hydro's dam system causes trees and shoreline to crumble into the
water.
Synopsis: "Green Green Water" is a story about power... power from
hydroelectric dams...the power to destroy an ancient culture...the power of
money...the power of indigenous people who refuse to be powerless in their
struggle to survive...and the power of activism. An average U.S. consumer (the
filmmaker) journeys to northern Manitoba to meet the Cree peoples who are
coping with the environmental and cultural impact of so-called "clean energy"
sold to the U.S. residents. Surviving mass poverty, environmental devastation,
and hopelessness after three decades of governmental dam development, northern
Manitoba Cree communities are now faced with an expanded series of dams for
energy exports to the U.S. How does an impoverished majority compete with the
multi-million dollar public relations campaign being waged against their
interests?
