Every Step a Prayer - Special Filmmaker Event

Join Filmmakers Chihiro Wimbush and Dr. Melinda Micco for a special preview of the work-in-progress screening of Every Step A Prayer: A Film About the Refinery Corridor Healing Walks.

We'll gather to watch the rough cut of the first 30 minutes of what will ultimately be a one-hour film.

From the filmmakers: "This is a fundraising watch party to offer you a chance to see how the film is emerging at the halfway point of our edit, as we raise the funds to complete the second half of the film. The impact we’re seeking is to inspire others in how they can rise to the challenge of climate chaos by taking action within their communities from a place of love and inclusivity. The funds will be used to complete our film in time for the spring film festivals. Please know that any size donation is welcome."

About Idle No More SF Bay

The film documents the all-volunteer group Idle No More SF Bay organizing and completing walks along the Refinery Corridor over four years in the San Francisco Bay Area. Led by Indigenous elders the walks, between 9 to 13 miles each through refinery communities, were inspiration for local actions addressing the disasters of fossil fuel extraction as well as those throughout the United States and in Canada.

Idle No More SF Bay founded in 2013 continues to be a major catalyst for various actions with Indigenous grandmothers in leadership roles. The group is committed to a just transition from fossil fuels and ensuring that countries move rapidly toward solutions for climate chaos. Additionally, Idle No More is committed to the transference of traditional Indigenous knowledge to the next generation.
