The Eagle and The Condor – From Standing Rock with Love
This film will premiere on Indigenous People’s Day - Monday October 8th on Free Speech TV and in communities across Turtle Island, the U.S., Canada and Europe.

From 2016 – 2017 Standing Rock water protection camps located at the heart of Turtle Island became the largest assembly of Indigenous peoples in recent history. Gathered nations confronted big energy’s extreme extraction through the strength of their ceremonies, histories, and connections. Despite being met with violence, many who brought their best intentions to this historic fight continue to expand their love and sovereignty - while they shift our world away from the trauma and isolation of modern days.

Opening Drum and Reception at 6pm

Film Screening at 7pm
