First look at a new documentary coming soon from Ricochet Media, IndigiNews and the Real News. Journalist Brandi Morin travels to Nevada to because a Canadian mining company — BC-based mining company, Lithium Americas — is trying to construct a lithium mine on a sacred Indigenous site, known to locals as Peehee mu’huh or Thacker Pass, who are told the lithium is needed for the coming "green boom" in electric cars. Meet the people pushing back on the destruction of ecosystems in the name of the energy transition, and those fighting to preserve the land for future generations. | video by Geordie Day.
