Dear friends, Our latest short film has been nominated to the Toronto International Film Festival's Emerging Filmmaker Award. The film is a 4 minute documentary about a group of 9-12 year old kids who live in Fort Chipewyan, Alberta. Their town is directly downstream from the Alberta oil sands, the world's largest and most toxic industrial project, and the pollution is destroying their way of life and killing their people. We're asking if you have 4 minutes to watch the film, hear their story and hopefully pass it on to your friends. These kids need their story to be shared far and wide. People need to know that this atrocity is happening!
Watch the film here - and if you love it vote for us: https://tiff.cment.net/step1.html# Select: "KEEPERS OF THE WATER" (and give it a minute to load before viewing) Deadline for voting is JULY 14th.
You can see more about the kids and the film here: www.keepersofthewater.com
In trust and solidarity Ayelen
