AWAKE: Water Protectors on Frontline Awaken the World: Nine Images


AWAKE: Water Protectors on Frontline Awaken the World: Nine Images
AWAKE premiered at Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday night. Here are nine images from the film, captured in screenshots by Censored News:
Militarized police take aim, terrorize youth praying. blast unarmed water protectors with tear gas, beat them and arrest a Lakota grandmother in prayer, at Standing Rock.
Ultimately, water protectors win the spiritual victory.
Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier, the Army National Guard, North Dakota Highway Patrol, and police from Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin and elsewhere, carried out this egregious violation of human rights to clear the way for a privately owned oil company, Dakota Access pipeline.
