Above All Else

Above All Else

Above All Else is an emotionally riveting film that focuses on environmental activism incited by plans to build the Keystone XL pipeline that runs from Canada to the Gulf Coast through six states. Emotionally riveting, the film propels activism into the hearts and minds of “ordinary” individuals and communities, illustrating the power of solidarity in 21st century activism. Following impassioned individuals and families who are directly threatened by the pipeline, Above All Else roots the abstraction of activism within one family’s backyard, creating a powerful space for the fight for environmental justice and threatened property rights in its wake.
