"It is a story about power - power from hydroelectric dams. . . the power to destroy an ancient culture . . . the power of money. . . the power of Indigenous people who refuse to be powerless in their struggle to survive. . . and the power of activism." A DVD version of the film is also now available for purchase through the Green Green Water website.
