The Straits of Mackinac Alliance presents this FREE screening of the new film “Bad River” (87 minutes). BAD RIVER, narrated by Quannah ChasingHorse and Academy-Award nominee, Edward Norton, is produced by Grant Hill (owner of the Atlanta Hawks), Allison Abner (writer for Narcos and West Wing) and award-winning filmmaker, Mary Mazzio. The film chronicles the Wisconsin-based Bad River Band and the Band’s ongoing fight for sovereignty, which unfolds in a groundbreaking way through a series of shocking revelations, devastating losses, and a powerful legacy of defiance and resilience. This inspiring project brings us through the epic sweep of history into the present, with a David and Goliath battle over a 70-year-old pipeline on the brink of rupture into Lake Superior, the largest freshwater resource in America. As Eldred Corbine, a Bad River Tribal Elder declares in the film… “we gotta protect it… die for it, if we have to.” The film screening will be followed by a Q & A with Dr. Ed Timm, Roger Gauthier, and Andrea Pierce (Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians member and Chair of the Anishinaabek Caucus) This FREE event is presented and made possible by the Straits of Mackinac Alliance, a 501c3 nonprofit. Donations to SMA to cover the costs […]
