We launch July’s Everybody's Climate film series with a screening of the two-part documentary Necessity
As Indigenous leaders and Native and non-Native activists respond to the growing climate emergency and are charged with trespassing, legal strategies in the climate movement increasingly take center stage. From the Mississippi Headwaters, wild rice fields and Great Lakes in Part I to the rivers and mountains of the Columbia River Gorge in Part II, awe-inspiring terrains become sites of coordinated resistance to the corporate promotion of oil. New alliances form around shared commitments to save the planet.
Directors: Jan Haaken, Samantha Praus
