| Green Green Water Screenings Successful | 06 April 06 |
 Green Green Water, a documentary about Hydro development and Manitoba northern communities, started its Manitoba Tour April 4th, with two crowded screenings in Winnipeg.The Manitoba tour follows on a successful screening of the documentary film at the Washington D.C. Environment Film Festival. Green Green Water screenings are being attended by many of the Manitobans featured in the film, such as: Dawn Mikkelson, film producer; Carol Kobliski, spokesperson for The Justice Seekers at Nelson House First Nation; and John Miswagon, Chief of The Pimicikamak at Cross Lake Manitoba. "As an American, I have been told that the ongoing struggles between the northern aboriginal communities and Manitoba Hydro are none of my business. Yet I depend on the power generated by Manitoba Hydro to keep my electricity bills low. The U.S. market is integral to Manitoba Hydro's plans for future dam development. This is not just a Canadian story, an aboriginal story, or an environmental story. Green Green Water is about what connects us all, our humanity and the world that we share," said Dawn Mikkelson.
