FOR OUR PEAT'S SAKE will have its Toronto Premiere screening at Water Docs 2018. Join us to see this film at our FREE event on Tuesday, April 10th at the OISE Auditorium in Toronto, 252 Bloor St. W. This is a co-presentation of Water Docs and the Ontario Water Works Association Student Chapter at the University of Toronto. For Our Peat's Sake (2017, CANADA) FOR OUR PEAT'S SAKE is an examination of the economic benefits and ecological impacts that are incurred through the production and use of ancient reserves of peat mosses. The 35 minute documentary film focusses on the Lake Winnipeg watershed region, where desperate Canadians and First Nations peoples are fighting for the protection of water, as nutrient runoff, flooding, and extreme weather has resulted in suffocating lakes and toxically undermined water sources.
