The film follows the Giniw Collective, a diverse group led by Indigenous Women, Two Spirit, Femme and Queer frontline warriors who are defending Mother Earth, the water, the land, and their right to harvest wild rice, as their ancestors did before them, in the only place it grows in the world. Through direct action, training, living, and defending what they believe in, this group becomes family and community as it fights together for one of the last sacred places on this earth against Enbridge’s Line 3, whose pipeline will carve trenches through 330-miles of Minnesota’s unspoiled wetlands, poisoning water, Indigenous land, and threatening to destroy their very way of life. Putting their lives and freedom at risk, there have already been more arrests than Standing Rock with the violence against unarmed Indigenous women increasing daily.
