A dream come true.

The Enbridge company announced that they want to build a new pipeline and Winona dreamed that she needed to oppose the project with a horse ride going ‘against the flow of the oil’.

So in 2014 I filmed Winona and Honor the Earth’s efforts to stop the Sandpiper pipeline from coming through her territory. From Public Utility Commission meeting to the legislature to tribal hearings I have been following this story of people who are engaging in an open and civil society.

How are Native communities being adversely affected by ‘big oil’? Exploring the life of an activist who admits that her life is like a circus, we see that circus come to life.
