Water Protectors at the main resistance camp in North Dakota vowed continued resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) as the camp was largely vacated following a Wednesday eviction order. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and North Dakota governor imposed a deadline, leading to around 10 arrests. Before the eviction, prayer ceremonies were held, and part of the camp was set on fire.

Protectors assert the camp sits on unceded Sioux territory under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. While most left, a couple dozen people remain. This encampment, once hosting over 10,000, was the largest gathering of Native Americans in decades. Construction on the final pipeline section resumed after the Trump administration granted an easement to drill beneath the Missouri River.

"JustUs" depicts a family in New Mexico's Española Valley ministering to their community amidst an epidemic of heroin addiction and political corruption. This region, homeland to Indigenous tribes and site of the 1680 Pueblo Rebellion against Spanish colonization, carries deep historical traumas. Spanish is a dominant cultural influence, and most residents are bi-racial. Despite its enchanting landscape, the valley suffers from endemic poverty; New Mexico ranks 49th in education. Job opportunities are scarce, with drug distribution often serving as the primary income.
