Coming home from a screening of 'End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock,' Waste Win Young heard that the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled against the water protectors critically injured by violent law enforcement at Backwater Bridge at Standing Rock. Although the court ruled in favor of law enforcement, Waste says it is important to realize the source of real power and keep going for future generations.

The showing of the documentary “End of the Line” in Sewanee, Tennessee was probably the most emotional response I’ve witnessed and felt. A lot of people came up to me afterward and they were visibly crying. One young woman couldn’t talk and I hugged her for a long time. She said that she and her mom had gone camping in North Dakota and drank water from the Missouri River.
