At the centre of this stirring documentary is a call to action by Layla Staats, a filmmaker, speaker and land and water activist of the Mohawk Nation, Turtle Clan. As captured by directors Stevie Salas and James Burns, Staats' mission is to raise awareness of the many Indigenous communities across Canada and the U.S. who continue to lack drinkable water after decades of empty promises and failed government fixes. Her campaign also takes her beyond affected communities like the Neskantaga First Nation in northern Ontario to other places and people that have suffered the effects of environmental racism, like the members of the Navajo Nation still dealing with the aftermath of the most radioactive accident in U.S. history. Though the film's revelations can be shocking, its moments of great poignancy and demonstrations of resilience make for a deeply affecting experience, one that will surely inspire many viewers to continue the fight.
