If you missed “End of the Line: Women of Standing Rock” at the Pickford Film Center during its Doctober festival, you can see it online throughout November as CASCADIA celebrates Native American Heritage month. Director Shannon Kring captures the heroic spirit of Indigenous women risking it all to halt the Dakota Access Pipeline, a project with potentially disastrous environmental ramifications on Native soil. Against many obstacles, these women stand firm.
Tickets are $10 and are on sale now. The film is 97minutes long and is available throughout the month of November.
“End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock” is a full-length feature film that captures history in the making, as a small group of Indigenous women establish a peaceful camp in protest of the $3.8 billion oil pipeline construction that threatens their land, water, and very existence. When their camp’s population exceeds 10,000, the women unwittingly find themselves the leaders of a global movement. View trailer here: https://vimeo.com/419950760.
Director Q&A
CASCADIA also recorded an interview with Emmy-winning director Shannon Kring and Phyllis Young, featured in the film with her daughter, Wašté Win. CASCADIA Board Member Lyn Dennis talked with them. Young is a well-known and regarded activist and was an early member of the American Indian Movement and co-founder of Women of All Red Nations. Young is also the proxy for the return of remains from boarding schools—Indian boarding schools being a topic we covered widely in the film. The interview is available on CASCADIA’s website at www.cascadiafilmfest.org.
