Synopsis
Summary
When a black snake threatens to destroy the Earth and poison her people’s water, one young water protector takes a stand to defend Earth’s most sacred resource. Inspired by the many Indigenous-led movements across North America, We Are Water Protectors is a rallying cry to safeguard the Earth’s water from harm and corruption.
