Paatuwaqatsi: Water, Land & Life
(2007, 60 min.) US
Director: Victor Masayesva, Jr. (Hopi)
After a tremendous grassroots effort, Hopi and Navajo activists
successfully brought a halt to some of Peabody Coal's practices
that endangered the region's drinking water. But the termination
of coal revenues also led the Hopi people to rediscover the right
prayer for hard times: running. This documentary follows an elder
and a young who join the 2000-mile run to the 4th World Water
Forum in Mexico City in 2006, in order to highlight the issue
of water and indigenous people.
