"AWAKE follows the dramatic rise of the historic #NODAPL native-led peaceful resistance at the Standing Rock Sioux Resevation, North Dakota, which captured the world's attention. Thousands of activists converged from around the country to stand in solidarity with the Water Protectors (activists) protesting the construction of the $3.7 billion Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), which is intended to carry fracked oil from North Dakota's Bakken oil fields through sovereign land and under the Missouri River, the water source for teh Standing Rock reservation and 17 million people down stream. Pipeline leaks are commonplace. Since 2010, over 3,300 oil spills and leaks have been reported. The film is a collaboration between indigenous filmmakers, Director Myron Dewey and Executive Producer Doug Good Feather, and Oscar®-nominated environmental filmmakers Josh Fox and James Spione. Each of the three sections of the film tells the story of the Standing Rock protests in the uniques perspective and style of the filmmaker who created it"--Container
