Water Warriors at One World Film Festival event : Film screening Share Print Water Warriors is a 22-minute short film and exhibition about the story of a community's successful fight to protect their water from the oil and natural gas industry. In2013, Texas-based SWN Resources arrived in New Brunswick, Canada to explore for natural gas. The region is known for its forestry, farming and fishing industries, which are both commercial and small-scale subsistence operations that rural communities depend on. In response, a multicultural group of unlikely warriors-including members of the Mi'kmaq Elsipogtog First Nation, French-speaking Acadians and white, English-speaking families-set up a series of road blockades, sometimes on fire, preventing exploration. After months of resistance, their efforts not only halted drilling; they elected a new government and won an indefinite moratorium on fracking in the province. Jean Symes, program manager at Inter Pares, will moderate the panel discussion following the screening. To learn more about One World Film Festival, check out the Facebook event page. Space is limited. RSVP now. Details: Thursday, September 28th, at 6:30 p.m. at Saint Paul University amphitheatre, 223, Main, Ottawa.
