About the Event

"Upstream, Downriver" 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. Stick around after the film for a panel discussion moderated by the film’s Director, Maggie Burnette Stogner. Featuring the Water Collaborative’s Executive Director, Jessica Dandridge-Smith, and other water warriors from across the United States. The film will also include a short panel discussion and Q&A with the director and her team. NOLA Water Week is presented by André Callioux Center for Performing Arts and Cultural Justice & Liquid IV.
