PART 2
This follow-up film tells the story of a weary community in the Drippings Springs Valley, which would be displaced by mine waste if the Resolution Copper Mine in Arizona is approved. This is in addition to the destruction the mine will cause at Oak Flat, a sacred indigenous site and unique outdoor area covered by ancient oak trees.
The film also looks at the water and air pollution caused by similar waste storage dams at the nearby Pinto Valley Mine in Arizona and takes you to an endangered archeological site where generations of Native Americans lived. Be sure to watch the original film for more background info on Oak Flat.
Now is a critical time for the Oak Flat struggle as we are in a 60 day land-swap period under which the land at Oak Flat will be given to Resolution Copper unless legal challenges, a new law or actions by the new administration prevent the swap. You can take action here.
