The Women of Standing Rock
“A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground. Then it is done, no matter how brave its warriors or strong its weapons.” ~Cheyenne proverb. The trailer for the film: "End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock, documents the nonviolent resistance of a proposed crude oil pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. Concerns about the destruction of sacred sites and potential impact of spills on the water supply and economic viability of the tribe have mobilized thousands of supporters from around the world to gather at Sacred Stone Camp. Despite the closure of the camp in February 2017, the protests continue in Washington, DC and in solidarity across the globe.
