Description: Across the heartland of America, farmers and landowners are fighting to protect their land, their water, and their livelihood in what has becomethe most controversial environmental battle in the US today: the Keystone XL Pipeline. Routed from Hardisty, Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast, this tar sands pipeline is set to cross the country’s largest freshwater resource, the Ogallala Aquifer, and the fragile Sandhills of Nebraska, posing devastating consequences to human health, livestock and agriculture.

Pipe Dreams has just been released at the end of November and the Houston Green Film Series is thrilled to present it to you during our last event of the year.

The film was featured in several newspapers and stations including the Huffington Post and Fox News and has been placed in the Oscar Shortlist.
