UNICORN RIOT’s BLACK SNAKE KILLAZ
The first of three programs in our Tribes Indigenous series (tonight’s introduced by local hero Ivy McClelland, who made the trek to Standing Rock), here’s the NorCal debut of a feature doc about resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline. From a young, brave collective of engaged electronic journalists, this exhaustive account explores initiatives taken by water protectors to stop the construction of the oil pipeline, and highlights actions taken by law enforcement, military, and corporate mercenaries to quell the months-long protest. BSK timelines the events that unfolded in Standing Rock throughout 2016, delivering the raw experiences from many frontline encounters. Although theDAPL is completed, the impact of the movement will be long-lasting. As fossil-fuel extraction projects continue to impact some of the most water protectors story grows.
