“Thirst For Justice”

As a mother, what lengths would you go to if your family were drinking highly contaminated water? All around you people are getting ill and dying, but the authorities are just not interested.

Against the odds, several extraordinary citizens band together to fight for their basic right to clean water – from Flint to the Navajo Nation, via Standing Rock.

Screening followed by a conversation with filmmaker Leana Hosea.
