Killer Water: Film Screening
The toxic legacy of Canada’s oil sands industry for Indigenous communities
March 12th – 6:30pm to 9:30pm | Innis College, 2 Sussex Ave, Toronto, ON M5S 1J5
In the middle of the Boreal Forest, toxic waste from oil production fills giant reservoirs that the industry refers to as tailings “ponds.” The toxic “ponds” scar the landscape, threaten the Athabasca watershed and imperil Indigenous communities living nearby.
Killer Water, by award-winning journalist Brandi Morin and filmmaker/director Geordie Day delves deep into the heart of this environmental crisis that plagues the Alberta oil sands, uncovering hidden truths that have long been ignored. Through stunning visuals and powerful narratives, Morin and Day take viewers on a journey through Fort Chipewyan that highlights the injustices faced by the Indigenous community living in the shadow of this industrial development.
Register to watch Killer Water on the big screen! Get the chance to hear from Brandi Morin in person and enjoy a catered reception complete with action opportunities.
