Films in the River Set
This Land
This Land is a social practice and documentary film directed by artists and activists Michelle de la Vega, Eva Barr, and videographers Gisell Calderon, and Stan Juzwiak. This project asked the question: Why aren’t there more Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers in MInnesota? BIPOC people have exceptionally limited access to land. The 2020 Emerging Farmers in MN Legislative Report states, “principle operators of Minnesota farms are 99.16 percent white….Nationally, non-white farmers own less than 4 percent of agricultural land, and in Minnesota, that rate is even lower.” The film follows the stories of land seekers, land owners, and land sharers to raise and explore questions about land justice in the US.
Upstream, Downriver: Uniting for Water Justice
"Upstream, Downriver: Uniting for Water Justice" takes viewers into the heart of the battle for water justice. Powerful stories with frontline community activists are interwoven with historical context about landmark regulations that significantly reduced water pollution in the U.S. but failed to serve disadvantaged communities that are hardest hit by today’s climate crisis.
