Join the Fundy Biosphere Reserve (virtually) as they offer the film "Water Warriors" for free over Zoom. 

Water Warriors is a story about the power of people united. When an energy company begins searching for natural gas in New Brunswick, Canada, Indigenous and white families unite to drive out the company in a campaign to protect their water and way of life. Nothing in this world can live without water. Water Warriors, a Storyline film, is an inspiring New Brunswick story about Indigenous and non-Indigenous, English and French speaking peoples who came together to fight a Texas energy company. Join us for a virtual streaming of Water Warriors at 7:15pm, or tune in at 7pm for the preshow!

Film Summary: In 2013, Texas-based SWN Resources arrived in New Brunswick, Canada to explore for natural gas. The region is known for its forestry, farming and fishing industries, which are both commercial and small-scale subsistence operations that rural communities depend on. In response, a multicultural group of unlikely warriors— including members of the Mi’kmaq Elsipogtog First Nation, French-speaking Acadians and white anglophone families—set up a series of road blockades, sometimes on fire, preventing exploration. After months of resistance, their efforts not only halted drilling; they elected a new government and in 2016 won an indefinite moratorium on fracking in the province.
