Upstream, Downriver:
Uniting for water justice
Fresh water. Imagine a day without it.
"Upstream, Downriver" takes viewers into the heart of the communities uniting for water justice. Powerful stories with frontline community activists are interwoven with historical context about landmark regulations that significantly reduced water pollution in the U.S. but failed to serve disadvantaged communities that are hardest hit by today’s climate crisis.
Refuge Keepers
In the remote fishing village of Celestún, Mexico, a community at the edge of ecological collapse fights to restore the ocean that has sustained generations. As declining fish populations and illegal harvesting threaten both marine life and local livelihoods, the town unites to build a groundbreaking marine refuge with hopes of securing a sustainable future. Set along the Gulf Coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, this 22-minute documentary follows those who have stepped forward to secure a sustainable future for their community.
