On July 9, 2007 Green Green Water screened for audiences in the UK at the Cambridge Film Festival. The reviews are in! The UK loves Green Green Water Check out the Reviews Here! . The Cambridge Film Festival is one of the UK's most popular, prestigious and well-respected film festivals.

This is the first of two videos we received produced by the Pimicikamak Cree Nation. Watch them show and explain in their own words the discovery of an ancestral burial site that was unearthed by the erosion caused by Manitoba Hydro's dam system. This is just one story of countless discoveries, but what makes this one unique is that it was documented for the world to see on video and now resides on You Tube!

Warning. This story contains images that some may find disturbing.

This is the second video handed to our crew this spring by Chief John and the Pimicikamak Nation. We are honored to present this video to the world through You Tube. It is a message of hope, unity, and strength amidst their struggle with Manitoba Hydro and its massive dam system.

Excerpt from the Earth Island Journal, Summer 2007

"When New Orleans flooded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it was called a natural disaster. When South Indian Lake in northern Manitoba flooded as the result of a hydroelectric dam, it was called progress. There are other differences between the two incidents, of course. One was an accident, the result of an engineering flaw; the other was "carefully" planned by engineers. One drew the attention of national and international media; the other has gone virtually unnoticed in a part of the world people rarely think about. . . . The footage Mikkelson provides . . .is thoughtful, heartbreaking, and sometimes stunningly ironic . . ."

Lee (co-director/editor) and David Pellow (Council Member of the Environment and Technology Section of ASA) to be held on Sunday, August 12 as part of the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP) Annual Conference in New York City.
