Sled Dogs To Saint Paul The Race For Clean Water
Sled Dogs To Saint Paul The Race For Clean Water
•
43m
Former Minnesota State Representative Frank Moe hitched up ten dogs and ran 362 miles by sled - from Grand Marais all the way to the Capitol in St. Paul - carrying 13,000 petition signatures opposing sulfide mining. Sled Dogs to Saint Paul follows that remarkable journey and the fight for clean water behind it. Part epic adventure, part grassroots crusade.
Why This Film Matters: Sulfide mining threatens some of North America's most pristine watersheds, and battles over it pit short-term extraction against long-term clean water. By turning a petition drive into a dogsled odyssey, Sled Dogs to Saint Paul shows what citizen activism can look like when someone truly commits. It's a stirring reminder that protecting the environment often starts with ordinary people going to extraordinary lengths.
