LN3: A Resistance in Seven Teachings is a 40-minute documentary follows the valiant, native-led alliance to stop the Line 3 tar sands oil pipeline in Minnesota’s north country -- home to a fifth of the world’s freshwater and the Ojibwe’s sacred manoomin (wild rice) waters.

Water protectors and pipeline fighters in Minnesota are asking our allies across the continent to host a local screening of LN3: A Resistance in Seven Teachings this April, to show solidarity with the Line 3 resistance and draw connections between our story and yours.

Line 3 (LN3) is a proposed tar sands oil pipeline that would pump 760,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta, Canada, to Superior, Wisconsin, passing through the sacred wild rice beds and treaty territory of the Anishinaabe people, the lake county of northern Minnesota, and the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Because tar sands oil is the most carbon-intensive oil on earth, Line 3 would also enable the emission of as many greenhouse gasses as 50 coal plants, resulting in more than $287 billion in climate damages that society will pay in heat waves, dangerous storms, agriculture failure, wildfires, political upheaval, and rising sea levels.

Despite five years of powerful resistance in Minnesota, Line 3 received its main permits last summer, and is slated to start construction in spring 2019. Now is a critical moment for people across the continent to join the fight to #StopLine3, and learn about the resistance happening in the streets, in the courts, and on the front-lines.

Come to a screening of LN3: A Resistance in Seven Teachings -- or sign up to host one in your community! -- to learn what it means to fight Line 3 in 2019. We want this to be an opportunity for local conversations, solidarity action, and community education.
