On this edition of Your Call, we'll discuss two documentaries featured at this year's Green Film Festival of San Francisco, which runs through October 16.
Oyate follows Indigenous water protectors fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock, and introduces Native leaders, politicians, and activists using their newfound platform to shed light on injustices committed against them for centuries. The #NoDAPL struggle became a rallying cry for Indigenous people everywhere.
Into the Weeds tells the story of Dewayne "Lee" Johnson, a former Bay Area groundskeeper on a mission to hold agrochemical giant Monsanto accountable for failing to label its popular Roundup weed-killer as carcinogenic.
Guests:
Brandon Jackson, director, producer, and story producer of Oyate
Stuart James, member of the Dakota Sioux tribe and Native hop hop artist
Jennifer Baichwal, Canadian documentary filmmaker and director of Into the Weeds
