Water is life

When it’s threatened, everything we hold dear is at stake. In a fight against overwhelming odds, Rebecca Jim rallies her community to reclaim their water and their heritage. This documentary unveils the struggle of a Cherokee Nation citizen and Waterkeeper Warrior as she takes on the U.S. government’s bleak designation of Tar Creek as “irreversibly damaged.” Through her unwavering spirit, we witness a powerful narrative of resilience and hope. Rebecca’s story is not just about water; it’s about the very essence of culture and identity. It’s a call to action for a community that refuses to be silenced. As we follow her journey, we are reminded that interconnectedness is vital. When one part of the ecosystem suffers, we all feel the impact. Join this fight for justice and discover the strength that lies in unity.
