"ᏗᏂᏠᎯ ᎤᏪᏯ (Meet Me at the Creek)" is more than just a documentary; it's a clarion call for environmental justice that echoes through communities and policy corridors alike. In the heart of Miami, Oklahoma, Rebecca Jim and the LEAD Agency are not just fighting for clean water; they are championing the voices of those long silenced by pollution and neglect.

The film illustrates the dire situation at Tar Creek, where the U.S. government has deemed the area "irreversibly damaged." Yet, through Rebecca's relentless advocacy, the community is mobilized to take action. With the LEAD Agency's grassroots initiatives, they emphasize the importance of clean water as a fundamental right, serving as a lifeline for both cultural preservation and community health.

The impact is profound. By spotlighting the struggles faced by the Cherokee Nation and other marginalized communities, the film aims to influence policy changes that protect environmental rights.
