Reporting from Standing Rock

The Leonard Lopate Show | Nov 28, 2016

Filmmaker Josh Fox and Dallas Goldtooth, "Keep It In The Ground" campaign organizer for the Indigenous Environmental Network, report on the Dakota Access Pipeline protests in Standing Rock, ND. They will talk about the growing crackdown by law enforcement, including felony charges against nonviolent protesters and climate activists. Fox, who directed Gasland and Gasland II, will also discuss how the boom in construction of pipelines and infrastructure like the DAPL threatens to lock us in GHG-intensive energy for 40 years.
