6
00:00:08.583 --> 00:00:10.799
(train air brakes hissing)

7
00:00:16.439 --> 00:00:18.763
(safety belt rustling)

8
00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:34.880
- We erected a tripod on a rail spur

9
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.100
where there was an oil
train ready to move North

10
00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:38.768
to the Anacortes refinery.

11
00:00:46.090 --> 00:00:49.583
These are ordinary people that
haven't been arrested before.

12
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.403
None of us had been arrested before.

13
00:00:54.150 --> 00:00:57.053
- She sat on the tripod for eight hours.

14
00:00:58.090 --> 00:01:01.810
I don't think that I would
do anything that serious,

15
00:01:01.810 --> 00:01:03.850
that, getting arrested or anything

16
00:01:03.850 --> 00:01:05.790
'cause I'm just not that kind of person

17
00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:08.083
that would risk that much.

18
00:01:08.083 --> 00:01:11.320
I think I'd be really
scared to go to jail.

19
00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:13.937
But I know there's a lot
of people that would.

20
00:01:15.762 --> 00:01:17.450
I think it's a lot different,

21
00:01:17.450 --> 00:01:20.640
people that go to jail
because they commit a crime

22
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.254
and people that go to jail

23
00:01:22.254 --> 00:01:25.690
because they're doing
something they believe in.

24
00:01:25.690 --> 00:01:28.480
- Police cars started to roll
in from different places,

25
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:29.773
as people knew about it.

26
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.527
There was a plain-clothes
officer who said,

27
00:01:33.527 --> 00:01:36.536
"You have a daughter, this is dangerous,

28
00:01:36.536 --> 00:01:39.140
you might die.

29
00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:40.810
Or something like that.

30
00:01:40.810 --> 00:01:44.427
So, I said, "Well, at
least I'll die trying."

31
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.631
He also said, "This is
a very expensive thing

32
00:01:48.631 --> 00:01:50.073
that you're doing.

33
00:01:50.073 --> 00:01:51.890
If you own a home,

34
00:01:51.890 --> 00:01:53.400
you might lose it."

35
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.330
Losing my house?

36
00:01:55.330 --> 00:01:59.038
We're talking about losing
the world, as we know it.

37
00:02:03.715 --> 00:02:05.705
You have to be creative.

38
00:02:05.705 --> 00:02:06.940
You have to sing.

39
00:02:06.940 --> 00:02:08.700
You have to do art.

40
00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:10.930
You have to do all sorts
of different things

41
00:02:10.930 --> 00:02:12.430
when you care about something.

42
00:02:13.513 --> 00:02:15.993
This is the Delta Rail Yard.

43
00:02:17.287 --> 00:02:21.800
I recreated this action
of civil disobedience

44
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.040
'cause these exploding oil
trains are very dangerous.

45
00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:27.590
I actually climbed up the tripod

46
00:02:27.590 --> 00:02:29.340
and this is the little perch.

47
00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:31.210
I gotta use more hot glue here.

48
00:02:31.210 --> 00:02:32.967
So, this is me.

49
00:02:34.670 --> 00:02:35.898
I climbed up.

50
00:02:37.450 --> 00:02:39.913
And then there were some
people that locked down.

51
00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:43.310
This represents, Mike.

52
00:02:43.310 --> 00:02:45.250
Patrick is a writer.

53
00:02:45.250 --> 00:02:48.507
And, Jackie, is a retired school teacher.

54
00:02:48.507 --> 00:02:51.990
Liz, works with people with autism.

55
00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:53.620
We were arrested.

56
00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:55.920
The charges were blocking a train,

57
00:02:55.920 --> 00:02:57.950
trespass in the second degree.

58
00:02:57.950 --> 00:03:00.121
We could get 90 days in jail.

59
00:03:00.121 --> 00:03:02.907
When you have a daughter that needs you,

60
00:03:02.907 --> 00:03:05.010
that's a really long time.

61
00:03:05.010 --> 00:03:07.430
I believe we can change things.

62
00:03:07.430 --> 00:03:10.000
So, this is just a tiny,
tiny drop in the bucket,

63
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.240
but when all those drops in
the bucket fill that bucket up,

64
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.644
that will be a good thing.

65
00:03:15.644 --> 00:03:16.894
- [Woman] Good luck to you.

66
00:03:16.894 --> 00:03:18.077
- [Bill] Good luck to you.

67
00:03:18.077 --> 00:03:19.191
Good work out there.

68
00:03:19.191 --> 00:03:21.448
(upbeat music)

69
00:03:22.407 --> 00:03:24.733
(water lapping the boat)

70
00:03:32.748 --> 00:03:34.960
(boat engine humming)

71
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.920
- Right in my backyard in Seattle,

72
00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:40.523
they were bringing in Shell's oil rig.

73
00:03:41.495 --> 00:03:42.720
All of a sudden,

74
00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:46.040
Arctic drilling and
climate became tangible,

75
00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:50.730
because of the polar pioneer
coming into Elliot Bay.

76
00:03:50.730 --> 00:03:53.738
- [Kayaktivists] Shell, no! Shell, no!

77
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.730
Shell, no! Shell, no!

78
00:03:57.730 --> 00:03:59.480
Shell, no! Shell, no!

79
00:04:02.730 --> 00:04:05.950
- [Bill] They were stupid
enough to bring this beast,

80
00:04:05.950 --> 00:04:10.110
this monster into the beautiful Salish Sea

81
00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:12.423
and we get to fight 'em with kayaks?

82
00:04:13.584 --> 00:04:16.501
(Kayaktivists cheering)

83
00:04:18.110 --> 00:04:20.400
We call for a kayak blockade

84
00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:24.459
of this Arctic disaster
called the Polar Pioneer.

85
00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:27.709
(somber music)

86
00:04:29.243 --> 00:04:32.125
When I was arrested and
taken to jail the first time,

87
00:04:32.125 --> 00:04:33.482
I was a little scared.

88
00:04:33.482 --> 00:04:35.700
I was mostly scared at
the moment of arrest.

89
00:04:35.700 --> 00:04:38.372
I was mostly scared at
the moment of decision

90
00:04:38.372 --> 00:04:40.899
when you have to step
out of this threshold

91
00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:44.275
of your own comfort and take a risk.

92
00:04:44.275 --> 00:04:45.992
Once you join the battle,

93
00:04:45.992 --> 00:04:47.731
you're in the battle.

94
00:04:47.731 --> 00:04:49.289
You're in.

95
00:04:54.414 --> 00:04:56.452
(wind blowing)

96
00:04:56.452 --> 00:04:57.868
(birds chirping)

97
00:05:14.722 --> 00:05:17.845
- Hey guys, how much longer in your game?

98
00:05:17.845 --> 00:05:19.245
Are you close?

99
00:05:20.197 --> 00:05:21.030
- Aji?

100
00:05:21.030 --> 00:05:22.340
- Yeah, we're close.

101
00:05:22.340 --> 00:05:24.182
- And you guys are both gonna be cool,

102
00:05:24.182 --> 00:05:26.112
whoever loses is gonna be fine?

103
00:05:26.112 --> 00:05:27.343
- [Adonis] Yeah.

104
00:05:27.343 --> 00:05:28.613
- Okay.

105
00:05:28.613 --> 00:05:29.949
(Helena chuckling)

106
00:05:29.949 --> 00:05:32.230
- There's gonna be no hurt feelings?

107
00:05:32.230 --> 00:05:33.745
- Checkmate.

108
00:05:33.745 --> 00:05:35.779
(Aji laughs)

109
00:05:38.757 --> 00:05:40.653
- It was really close.

110
00:05:40.653 --> 00:05:42.011
- It's checkmate.

111
00:05:42.011 --> 00:05:44.138
- Wait, you got to see
if he can find a way out?

112
00:05:44.138 --> 00:05:45.550
- I can't move.

113
00:05:45.550 --> 00:05:46.980
- [Helena] He did it?

114
00:05:46.980 --> 00:05:49.228
- Yeah. Good game.

115
00:05:49.228 --> 00:05:50.462
- Hey, man.

116
00:05:50.462 --> 00:05:52.490
- I don't wanna shake your hand.

117
00:05:52.490 --> 00:05:53.703
- [Helena] Adonis.

118
00:05:53.703 --> 00:05:54.940
- It's okay. It's okay.

119
00:05:54.940 --> 00:05:55.997
- It's still a good game.

120
00:05:55.997 --> 00:05:56.907
- Soar loser.

121
00:05:56.907 --> 00:05:58.966
- No, that was still a good game.

122
00:05:58.966 --> 00:06:00.527
He's salty. He's salty.

123
00:06:00.527 --> 00:06:01.527
He's so salty.

124
00:06:01.527 --> 00:06:03.000
- Now, that's just annoying.

125
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.358
- You are salty, though bro.

126
00:06:04.358 --> 00:06:05.632
- Aji, that's just annoying.

127
00:06:05.632 --> 00:06:08.046
- But, you refuse to shake
my hand after a good game.

128
00:06:08.046 --> 00:06:09.262
- Aji, don't push it.

129
00:06:09.262 --> 00:06:11.178
- 'Cause I actually don't want to.

130
00:06:11.178 --> 00:06:14.530
- [Aji] You are acting super salty though.

131
00:06:14.530 --> 00:06:18.521
(crowd cheering) (crowd applauding)

132
00:06:19.950 --> 00:06:24.950
- These 21 plaintiffs
representing the youth of America

133
00:06:25.410 --> 00:06:30.410
and future generations just
took on the federal government

134
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.400
and the fossil fuel industry,

135
00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:36.908
and the constitution will prevail.

136
00:06:36.908 --> 00:06:37.960
(crowd cheering)

137
00:06:37.960 --> 00:06:41.390
- I got involved in both a federal lawsuit

138
00:06:41.390 --> 00:06:44.570
and a Washington State lawsuit.

139
00:06:44.570 --> 00:06:47.530
We petitioned the department
of ecology here in Washington

140
00:06:47.530 --> 00:06:49.710
to create a clean air rule,

141
00:06:49.710 --> 00:06:51.420
not a clean air act, federal,

142
00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:52.840
clean air rule, Washington,

143
00:06:52.840 --> 00:06:54.700
that would be very, very strong,

144
00:06:54.700 --> 00:06:56.872
based on the newest climate science.

145
00:06:56.872 --> 00:06:59.585
They denied our petition
and we took them to court.

146
00:06:59.585 --> 00:07:01.901
(peaceful music)

147
00:07:05.506 --> 00:07:09.060
The wording of the case and
the argument of the case was,

148
00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:12.330
that children growing up
in Washington have rights.

149
00:07:12.330 --> 00:07:15.130
Have legal rights protected
under the constitution.

150
00:07:15.130 --> 00:07:18.620
And that's that the government
holds their natural resources

151
00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:22.308
in public trust for
generations that are now,

152
00:07:22.308 --> 00:07:24.200
and generations to come.

153
00:07:24.200 --> 00:07:25.890
- [protesters] Fossil
fuels have got to go.

154
00:07:25.890 --> 00:07:29.260
- The judge set a precedent.
Everybody was overjoyed.

155
00:07:29.260 --> 00:07:30.613
It was amazing.

156
00:07:31.460 --> 00:07:33.170
And then it was still that,

157
00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:34.040
but we...

158
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:35.090
It's not over yet,

159
00:07:35.090 --> 00:07:40.053
because, politicians, yeah.

160
00:07:45.722 --> 00:07:48.400
- This is a criminal action the defendant,

161
00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:52.180
Michael Foster, conspired
to willfully tamper

162
00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:54.130
with the manual shutoff valve

163
00:07:54.130 --> 00:07:57.765
on the Trans-Canada
Keystone Pipeline in order

164
00:07:57.765 --> 00:08:00.273
to stop the flow of the petroleum.

165
00:08:00.273 --> 00:08:02.177
- Are you currently in law enforcement?

166
00:08:02.177 --> 00:08:03.380
- Yes, I am.

167
00:08:03.380 --> 00:08:05.115
Deputy, can you please identify

168
00:08:05.115 --> 00:08:06.529
what you see in this?

169
00:08:06.529 --> 00:08:08.760
- [Deputy] The individual
on the left is Mr.Foster,

170
00:08:08.760 --> 00:08:10.623
wearing the same green
fluorescent safety vest

171
00:08:10.623 --> 00:08:12.600
with the bolt cutters in his hand.

172
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.462
He appears to be looking
at the large warning sign

173
00:08:15.462 --> 00:08:17.554
on the front of the valve station.

174
00:08:18.570 --> 00:08:23.570
- We just realized that we
could stop five pipelines

175
00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:29.180
and stop 15% of US oil supply.

176
00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:34.660
I got to shut off 590,000
barrels of tar sands dilbit,

177
00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:38.860
diluted bitchumen, it's poison.

178
00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:40.957
It's filled with toxic chemicals.

179
00:08:40.957 --> 00:08:44.150
We're not even allowed to
know what the chemicals are.

180
00:08:44.150 --> 00:08:46.320
And I knew that when I cut that chain

181
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.700
and I opened that fence that
I was crossing a threshold

182
00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:52.103
that I couldn't uncross.

183
00:08:53.390 --> 00:08:55.500
And when I put my hands on the valve

184
00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:57.883
and I started turning that thing,

185
00:08:57.883 --> 00:09:02.510
that I had made a choice to go
into another part of my life

186
00:09:02.510 --> 00:09:05.260
and that I wasn't gonna be
able to step back from that.

187
00:09:06.274 --> 00:09:09.820
It was a big surprise when they threw,

188
00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:12.870
81 years worth of charges at me.

189
00:09:12.870 --> 00:09:14.880
That was reduced to 51 years.

190
00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:17.260
And then it was reduced to 23 years.

191
00:09:17.260 --> 00:09:20.050
And so far, I haven't
actually defended myself.

192
00:09:20.050 --> 00:09:21.780
They wanted to make an example.

193
00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.480
They wanted to scare people and make sure

194
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.912
that nobody ever thought about doing this,

195
00:09:25.912 --> 00:09:28.881
because you're gonna spend the
rest of your life in prison.

196
00:09:28.881 --> 00:09:29.964
(wind howling)

197
00:09:29.964 --> 00:09:34.500
I am taking this action
on behalf of living beings

198
00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:36.600
and future generations.

199
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.450
And that we are peaceful

200
00:09:40.781 --> 00:09:42.847
and this is necessary.

201
00:09:43.966 --> 00:09:46.716
(valve creaking)

202
00:09:50.467 --> 00:09:53.384
(protesters chanting)

203
00:09:54.711 --> 00:09:56.359
- [Michael] When I say, frack,

204
00:09:56.359 --> 00:09:57.610
you say, off.

205
00:09:57.610 --> 00:09:58.718
Frack.
- Off.

206
00:09:58.718 --> 00:09:59.790
- Frack.
- Off.

207
00:09:59.790 --> 00:10:00.858
- [Michael] When I say, frack.

208
00:10:00.858 --> 00:10:02.489
you say, off. Frack.
- Off.

209
00:10:02.489 --> 00:10:03.549
- Frack.
- Off.

210
00:10:03.549 --> 00:10:05.163
- When I say, frack

211
00:10:05.163 --> 00:10:06.748
you say, off. Frack.
- Off.

212
00:10:06.748 --> 00:10:07.764
- Frack.
- Off.

213
00:10:07.764 --> 00:10:09.039
- Somebody said, "Hey,

214
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.174
there's a group of people
walking across the country."

215
00:10:11.174 --> 00:10:14.690
And that night I signed up to do it.

216
00:10:14.690 --> 00:10:17.027
And when I signed up, it said,

217
00:10:17.027 --> 00:10:20.060
"A thousand marchers
going across the country."

218
00:10:20.060 --> 00:10:22.870
and from all over the world, every state.

219
00:10:22.870 --> 00:10:25.233
You can imagine, it really ramped it up.

220
00:10:25.233 --> 00:10:26.630
(crowd cheering)

221
00:10:26.630 --> 00:10:30.150
But quickly, I saw that the
march wasn't what it was

222
00:10:30.150 --> 00:10:32.855
from the websites and from the brochures.

223
00:10:32.855 --> 00:10:34.870
There's a huge mass of people with us,

224
00:10:34.870 --> 00:10:36.725
which is amazing.

225
00:10:36.725 --> 00:10:38.023
(crowd cheering)

226
00:10:38.023 --> 00:10:40.940
And then once we hit the two-mile mark,

227
00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:42.220
the mass kind of leaves

228
00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:44.683
and then the climate marchers are left

229
00:10:44.683 --> 00:10:47.450
to walk across the country.

230
00:10:47.450 --> 00:10:49.691
There was about maybe 40 of us.

231
00:10:53.755 --> 00:10:55.415
(thunder rumbling)

232
00:10:55.415 --> 00:10:57.086
(The sound of rain pouring down)

233
00:10:57.086 --> 00:10:59.045
And that's when the downpour happened.

234
00:11:00.636 --> 00:11:02.513
(thunder rumbling)

235
00:11:02.513 --> 00:11:04.624
(rain pouring down)

236
00:11:04.624 --> 00:11:06.079
(tense piano music)

237
00:11:06.079 --> 00:11:08.505
Does anybody else think
we should get out of this?

238
00:11:08.505 --> 00:11:10.452
I mean, I'm a Mid-Westener.

239
00:11:10.452 --> 00:11:13.234
We run and hide when that happens.

240
00:11:13.234 --> 00:11:15.088
(rain pouring down)

241
00:11:15.088 --> 00:11:18.280
- After a wonderful rally
when the rain held off.

242
00:11:18.280 --> 00:11:20.900
Suddenly, we came to all this rain.

243
00:11:20.900 --> 00:11:24.890
The water is up, clear up over our ankles

244
00:11:24.890 --> 00:11:26.720
and it's rushing so fast you feel

245
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.930
like you're gonna be swept away.

246
00:11:28.930 --> 00:11:30.540
I'm 71 years old,

247
00:11:30.540 --> 00:11:33.380
but I can walk 15 miles, no problem.

248
00:11:33.380 --> 00:11:35.660
It's where my sense of adventure

249
00:11:35.660 --> 00:11:38.500
and my passion for saving our beautiful,

250
00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:40.870
sacred world just came
together right then.

251
00:11:40.870 --> 00:11:43.107
I knew I would do it. And here I am.

252
00:11:43.107 --> 00:11:45.210
A bit scary,

253
00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:47.120
uncomfortable, for sure,

254
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.080
but also kind of exhilarating and fun.

255
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.240
We are here doing this and by God,

256
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.400
we're not gonna let anything stop us.

257
00:11:54.482 --> 00:11:56.482
(water rushing)

258
00:11:56.482 --> 00:12:00.695
(vehicle splashing water)
(people screeching)

259
00:12:00.695 --> 00:12:02.862
- [Ed] That was nice.

260
00:12:08.793 --> 00:12:10.528
(beeping)

261
00:12:10.528 --> 00:12:13.478
(Cherry picker beeping)

262
00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:24.240
- We are here to fill
ourselves up with the spirit,

263
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.160
supporting a member of our
congregation, Abby Brockway.

264
00:12:27.160 --> 00:12:29.740
And the whole Delta 5
team that were involved

265
00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:33.313
in the act of civil disobedience
for climate justice.

266
00:12:33.313 --> 00:12:34.271
(soft music)

267
00:12:34.271 --> 00:12:36.120
They go to trial tomorrow.

268
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:38.190
And so, today, to support them,

269
00:12:38.190 --> 00:12:42.030
we invite you to stand and to come close,

270
00:12:42.030 --> 00:12:44.793
to lay on a hand if you're close enough.

271
00:12:44.793 --> 00:12:48.927
And if not, lay on a hand
to somebody who's near you.

272
00:12:56.525 --> 00:12:58.441
Peaceful music

273
00:13:00.310 --> 00:13:03.810
We pray that hearts
and minds will be open.

274
00:13:03.810 --> 00:13:06.850
And that the need to care
for our common resources

275
00:13:06.850 --> 00:13:08.860
and our common humanity,

276
00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:13.055
will remain in the center of
everyone's hearts and minds.

277
00:13:13.055 --> 00:13:16.030
All this we offer for the sake of creation

278
00:13:16.030 --> 00:13:19.033
and then in the name of our creator, amen.

279
00:13:19.033 --> 00:13:20.624
- [Congregation] Amen.

280
00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:23.746
- [Pastor] Please be seated.

281
00:13:23.746 --> 00:13:26.259
- [Older woman] Thank
you. Thank you. Thank you.

282
00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:27.539
All of you.

283
00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:29.039
- [Patrick] Thank you.

284
00:13:32.714 --> 00:13:34.050
- Read that.

285
00:13:34.050 --> 00:13:35.085
(chuckles)

286
00:13:35.085 --> 00:13:36.093
- Really?

287
00:13:36.093 --> 00:13:37.260
- Yeah.

288
00:13:37.260 --> 00:13:41.200
- Dear mom, I love you so much.

289
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.950
You are the best mom ever, love Sienna.

290
00:13:45.167 --> 00:13:47.048
- And the thing is,

291
00:13:47.048 --> 00:13:49.730
I know right now I don't
feel like the best mother,

292
00:13:49.730 --> 00:13:52.520
because I've been not as
present for a year and a half.

293
00:13:52.520 --> 00:13:55.280
Roger's had to be the mom
and the dad at some points.

294
00:13:55.280 --> 00:13:58.870
But if I am found guilty
then there's options.

295
00:13:58.870 --> 00:14:00.587
Let's say he says,

296
00:14:00.587 --> 00:14:04.787
"We will give you 60 hours
of community service."

297
00:14:04.787 --> 00:14:08.302
Well, maybe what I
would like to do is say,

298
00:14:08.302 --> 00:14:09.770
"I'd rather go to jail."

299
00:14:09.770 --> 00:14:12.380
If I need to be punished
then I wanna go to jail,

300
00:14:12.380 --> 00:14:14.090
because I am serious about this.

301
00:14:14.090 --> 00:14:16.970
And I feel like that
is what it's gonna take

302
00:14:16.970 --> 00:14:18.770
for a mother to go to jail.

303
00:14:18.770 --> 00:14:22.910
To pay the price for what I
did will be more inspiring

304
00:14:22.910 --> 00:14:25.350
and I feel called to the jail.

305
00:14:25.350 --> 00:14:28.490
- You have given this a lot of thought,

306
00:14:28.490 --> 00:14:30.868
and this is the first I've heard of it.

307
00:14:30.868 --> 00:14:34.385
It's part of what got us
to an uncomfortable place.

308
00:14:34.385 --> 00:14:36.062
As far as I'm concerned-

309
00:14:36.062 --> 00:14:38.998
- You haven't also been
available in the same space, so

310
00:14:38.998 --> 00:14:41.397
- Honey, there's something
I've been meaning

311
00:14:41.397 --> 00:14:42.990
to talk to you about, but I
haven't got around to it yet.

312
00:14:42.990 --> 00:14:44.193
I wanna go to jail.

313
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.892
- Ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, good afternoon.

314
00:14:47.892 --> 00:14:49.578
I'm gonna tell you a little bit

315
00:14:49.578 --> 00:14:51.342
of what happened on September, 2nd.

316
00:14:51.342 --> 00:14:52.859
In the early morning hours,

317
00:14:52.859 --> 00:14:54.810
probably about 06:00 a.m., 6:30,

318
00:14:54.810 --> 00:14:58.020
there were some reports
from the BNSF Rail Yard,

319
00:14:58.020 --> 00:15:00.402
there was a tripod that was assembled

320
00:15:00.402 --> 00:15:01.560
in the middle of the rail yard,

321
00:15:01.560 --> 00:15:04.023
blocking one of the lines.

322
00:15:04.023 --> 00:15:05.040
On that tripod,

323
00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:06.290
at the very top,

324
00:15:06.290 --> 00:15:07.690
was defendant, Ms. Brockway.

325
00:15:08.680 --> 00:15:12.943
For eight hours these five
defendants blocked a rail line.

326
00:15:13.880 --> 00:15:17.240
Officers responded, spoke
with the protestors.

327
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:20.448
No dispute, they were very cordial.

328
00:15:20.448 --> 00:15:22.300
Asked them if they'd
please remove themselves?

329
00:15:22.300 --> 00:15:23.596
They said they would not.

330
00:15:23.596 --> 00:15:25.668
They were willing to put
their life on the line

331
00:15:25.668 --> 00:15:26.743
for this cause.

332
00:15:26.743 --> 00:15:28.439
They'd basically sat for eight hours.

333
00:15:28.439 --> 00:15:30.048
The officers really weren't
quite sure how to respond.

334
00:15:30.048 --> 00:15:32.990
If they took any one of
the legs out of the tripod,

335
00:15:32.990 --> 00:15:35.490
they risked Ms. Brockway
falling to the ground

336
00:15:35.490 --> 00:15:37.257
when she was up, some 20 feet.

337
00:15:38.970 --> 00:15:41.252
- The individuals that
were seated in chairs,

338
00:15:41.252 --> 00:15:43.660
all were chained across their bodies

339
00:15:43.660 --> 00:15:46.450
and across the leg of the tripod.

340
00:15:46.450 --> 00:15:49.100
I asked if there was anything I could do

341
00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:52.248
to help them resolve the
situation that they were here for?

342
00:15:52.248 --> 00:15:53.580
I believe someone might've said

343
00:15:53.580 --> 00:15:55.330
that I could stop the oil and coal trains,

344
00:15:55.330 --> 00:15:57.860
but unfortunately that's
way above my pay grade.

345
00:15:57.860 --> 00:16:00.340
So, I started with Mrs. Abigail Brockway,

346
00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:01.540
because she was on top.

347
00:16:01.540 --> 00:16:02.770
20 feet up.

348
00:16:02.770 --> 00:16:05.760
And I informed her, you are
under arrest for trespassing.

349
00:16:05.760 --> 00:16:08.600
And I ordered her to come down.

350
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.950
She stated, no.

351
00:16:09.950 --> 00:16:11.930
I told her that she was then under arrest

352
00:16:11.930 --> 00:16:14.670
for resisting arrest and trespassing.

353
00:16:14.670 --> 00:16:16.210
Again, ordered her to come down.

354
00:16:16.210 --> 00:16:17.750
She again refused.

355
00:16:17.750 --> 00:16:19.940
- Thank you, this witness may be excused.

356
00:16:19.940 --> 00:16:22.058
- [Witness] Thank you, sir.

357
00:16:22.058 --> 00:16:24.938
- Can I not be cross-examined
today? Or do we have to-

358
00:16:24.938 --> 00:16:27.079
We're gonna have to talk
about which defendant-

359
00:16:27.079 --> 00:16:29.376
- I wanna go last. I'm not ready

360
00:16:29.376 --> 00:16:32.808
- It's gonna be a group
decision on the order.

361
00:16:32.808 --> 00:16:33.983
That's all I can say,

362
00:16:33.983 --> 00:16:35.930
so it's not your decision alone.

363
00:16:35.930 --> 00:16:36.763
- I agree.

364
00:16:36.763 --> 00:16:38.044
- So, we'll see.

365
00:16:38.044 --> 00:16:39.523
- Just tell me what I want.

366
00:16:39.523 --> 00:16:40.748
- I understand.

367
00:16:46.040 --> 00:16:48.640
- Dozens of kayaktivists were
arrested after paddling up

368
00:16:48.640 --> 00:16:50.850
to a shell drilling rig and preventing it

369
00:16:50.850 --> 00:16:52.870
from leaving the Port of Seattle.

370
00:16:52.870 --> 00:16:56.620
The activists set off
at four in the morning.

371
00:16:57.780 --> 00:16:59.264
(birds chirping)

372
00:17:03.670 --> 00:17:04.503
- Hi.

373
00:17:04.503 --> 00:17:05.494
- Hello, love.

374
00:17:07.405 --> 00:17:08.565
Hey there, honey.

375
00:17:08.565 --> 00:17:10.382
How are you doing?

376
00:17:10.382 --> 00:17:11.399
- How did it go?

377
00:17:11.399 --> 00:17:13.270
- Oh, it was amazing, of course,

378
00:17:13.270 --> 00:17:16.400
and completely ridiculous, and insane.

379
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:17.450
And, oh, my God,

380
00:17:17.450 --> 00:17:19.650
I can't believe we did it.

381
00:17:19.650 --> 00:17:20.573
(crickets chirping)

382
00:17:20.573 --> 00:17:23.950
And, honestly, I'm so
tired right now, I just...

383
00:17:23.950 --> 00:17:27.320
You guys must be super tired
of me being super tired,

384
00:17:27.320 --> 00:17:30.410
not knowing whether I was gonna be home

385
00:17:30.410 --> 00:17:33.640
or not home, or getting arrested.

386
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.289
- [Aziza] Well, I mean-

387
00:17:35.289 --> 00:17:36.255
(Ester laughs)

388
00:17:36.255 --> 00:17:39.126
it wasn't even a question
if you'd be home for dinner

389
00:17:39.126 --> 00:17:43.059
we'd just have dinner and if
you were home then great, but

390
00:17:43.059 --> 00:17:44.538
- Yeah, it becomes...

391
00:17:44.538 --> 00:17:46.260
We live with or without you.

392
00:17:46.260 --> 00:17:49.133
We must... the show must go on.

393
00:17:49.133 --> 00:17:51.340
And the life must go on,

394
00:17:51.340 --> 00:17:54.572
whether your show is with our show or not.

395
00:17:54.572 --> 00:17:56.450
- Right.

396
00:17:56.450 --> 00:17:58.630
[Aziza] It's funny when people ask me

397
00:17:58.630 --> 00:18:00.770
what you do for a living,

398
00:18:00.770 --> 00:18:04.039
because after 14 years I still don't know.

399
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.972
(laughing)

400
00:18:07.050 --> 00:18:08.988
How to describe it.

401
00:18:10.530 --> 00:18:12.810
- My dad studied to be a Jesuit Priest.

402
00:18:12.810 --> 00:18:15.770
And was in the Jesuits for nine years.

403
00:18:15.770 --> 00:18:18.580
My mom was a nun, I know,

404
00:18:18.580 --> 00:18:20.690
so for about six years.

405
00:18:20.690 --> 00:18:23.100
And then they both left
their respective orders

406
00:18:23.100 --> 00:18:26.150
and I was the first born.

407
00:18:26.150 --> 00:18:28.910
All of that instilled in me (soft music)

408
00:18:28.910 --> 00:18:31.890
a kind of Catholicism or a kind of ethics,

409
00:18:31.890 --> 00:18:34.450
where justice was central.

410
00:18:34.450 --> 00:18:36.170
All of this stuff,

411
00:18:36.170 --> 00:18:38.110
all of the beauty that we've created.

412
00:18:38.110 --> 00:18:40.350
It's taken millions of years to evolve.

413
00:18:40.350 --> 00:18:42.703
To create a forest like this.

414
00:18:43.620 --> 00:18:44.453
All that complexity.

415
00:18:44.453 --> 00:18:45.673
All that interrelation.

416
00:18:47.060 --> 00:18:49.183
That could all go away.

417
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:51.240
And we're gonna win.

418
00:18:52.278 --> 00:18:54.090
(laughing)

419
00:18:54.090 --> 00:18:56.930
We are gonna win. I am totally confident.

420
00:18:56.930 --> 00:18:59.700
- Well, what would you define as winning?

421
00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:01.050
- No fucking Arctic drilling,

422
00:19:01.050 --> 00:19:03.113
is what I would define as winning.

423
00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:06.590
Our movement's only gonna get bigger.

424
00:19:06.590 --> 00:19:09.390
Climate change is only gonna
get more obvious to people.

425
00:19:10.495 --> 00:19:13.260
I mean, they wanna keep
escalating and picking a fight,

426
00:19:13.260 --> 00:19:15.650
they're gonna lose.

427
00:19:15.650 --> 00:19:18.800
They're gonna lose, because
they're raising the stakes.

428
00:19:18.800 --> 00:19:21.870
If they raised the stakes
where it made it acceptable

429
00:19:21.870 --> 00:19:25.593
for us to run and disobey law enforcement.

430
00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:28.540
People are cheering for us
when we were doing something

431
00:19:28.540 --> 00:19:32.167
that, normally, people would
not necessarily cheer for.

432
00:19:32.167 --> 00:19:34.263
But they are on our side.

433
00:19:35.520 --> 00:19:39.607
So, if they continue to
escalate and raise the stakes-

434
00:19:39.607 --> 00:19:41.070
(helicopter whirring)

435
00:19:41.070 --> 00:19:44.730
they are going to escalate
what is acceptable

436
00:19:44.730 --> 00:19:46.070
for people to do.

437
00:19:46.070 --> 00:19:47.730
And that's a little bit scary,

438
00:19:47.730 --> 00:19:49.491
but I think it's true.

439
00:19:51.665 --> 00:19:53.450
(Compelling beat playing)

440
00:19:53.450 --> 00:19:55.650
- Okay, how about we just leave that.

441
00:19:59.120 --> 00:20:01.090
- I've always been very musical.

442
00:20:01.090 --> 00:20:03.100
Always singing when I was little.

443
00:20:03.100 --> 00:20:05.369
I started getting more musical

444
00:20:05.369 --> 00:20:08.280
when I started writing my
songs for my environmentalism,

445
00:20:08.280 --> 00:20:09.910
which is about 12 years old.

446
00:20:09.910 --> 00:20:12.223
- My brother didn't wanna write a speech.

447
00:20:12.223 --> 00:20:14.457
It was the first rally
that we were gonna go to

448
00:20:14.457 --> 00:20:16.058
and my mom was like,

449
00:20:16.058 --> 00:20:18.000
"Hey, why don't you make a song?"

450
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.063
So he made "Exploding
Trains", the first song.

451
00:20:21.063 --> 00:20:22.820
The song is so out of date.

452
00:20:22.820 --> 00:20:24.753
It's so old.

453
00:20:25.782 --> 00:20:28.474
♪ We're sick of your money,
we're sick of your games. ♪

454
00:20:28.474 --> 00:20:31.173

458
00:20:36.546 --> 00:20:38.310
- Music is...

459
00:20:38.310 --> 00:20:40.430
It's my personal expression.

460
00:20:40.430 --> 00:20:43.300
And it's also like my own like spiritual,

461
00:20:43.300 --> 00:20:45.050
path and finding myself.

462
00:20:45.050 --> 00:20:48.745
Oftentimes music will get
stuck in people's heads.

463
00:20:48.745 --> 00:20:50.060
And they'll remember that.

464
00:20:50.060 --> 00:20:52.368
But if you give a speech, it won't.

465
00:20:52.368 --> 00:20:53.420
(intense beat playing)

466
00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:54.760
- It doesn't flow well.

467
00:20:54.760 --> 00:20:55.920
- No.

468
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:58.460
I messed it up, but I
know how it works now.

469
00:20:58.460 --> 00:20:59.468
- I don't.

470
00:21:01.297 --> 00:21:03.330
- But you'll hear.

471
00:21:03.330 --> 00:21:05.330
- But I don't want to do it.

472
00:21:05.330 --> 00:21:07.674
Okay then don't do it. Don't sing it then

473
00:21:07.674 --> 00:21:08.952
Just stop singing.

474
00:21:08.952 --> 00:21:11.770
You know we just bounce
off each other lyrics.

475
00:21:11.770 --> 00:21:13.913
He gives a line, I give a line.

476
00:21:14.830 --> 00:21:17.783
I don't like his line.
He doesn't like mine.

477
00:21:17.783 --> 00:21:19.187
Sometimes, I'm like,

478
00:21:19.187 --> 00:21:21.985
"Wow, you just kind of shot
that down, right away."

479
00:21:21.985 --> 00:21:23.760
And I'm like, "Meah."

480
00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:28.545
But usually he's really
accepting to what I have to say,

481
00:21:28.545 --> 00:21:31.253

492
00:21:51.423 --> 00:21:54.620
So, how many of you know
what it is that I did?

493
00:21:54.620 --> 00:21:55.985
Raise your hands.

494
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.090
I took action with some friends

495
00:22:00.090 --> 00:22:04.480
and we shut down all five
of the tar sands pipelines,

496
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:06.583
crossing the US, Canadian border.

497
00:22:07.510 --> 00:22:10.981
So, I'm gonna show you a
little film about that.

498
00:22:10.981 --> 00:22:12.867
(tranquil music)

499
00:22:12.867 --> 00:22:16.490
- Climate activists were
arrested Tuesday for attempting

500
00:22:16.490 --> 00:22:19.930
to shut down all tar sands oil
coming into the United States

501
00:22:19.930 --> 00:22:23.400
from Canada, by manually turning
off pipelines in Minnesota,

502
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.450
Montana, North Dakota
and Washington state.

503
00:22:30.591 --> 00:22:31.790
(upbeat music)

504
00:22:31.790 --> 00:22:33.253
- Keystone pipeline.

505
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.913
North Dakota. I'm Michael Foster.

506
00:22:39.230 --> 00:22:41.160
In order to preserve life, as we know it

507
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:43.670
and civilization, give us a fair chance,

508
00:22:43.670 --> 00:22:45.560
and our kids a fair chance.

509
00:22:45.560 --> 00:22:49.203
I'm taking action as a
citizen. I am duty bound.

510
00:22:50.982 --> 00:22:52.665
Before we get to questions.

511
00:22:55.370 --> 00:22:57.270
What do you think should happen to me?

512
00:22:59.030 --> 00:23:01.030
Okay. Yeah.

513
00:23:01.030 --> 00:23:03.730
- I think if the people
who are dumping oil,

514
00:23:03.730 --> 00:23:05.800
don't get arrested, then
you shouldn't be arrested

515
00:23:05.800 --> 00:23:06.730
for anything.

516
00:23:06.730 --> 00:23:10.822
If they're transporting oil
from one place to the other,

517
00:23:10.822 --> 00:23:14.470
and polluting our world
and causing oil spills,

518
00:23:14.470 --> 00:23:17.845
if they're not arrested,
then you shouldn't be either.

519
00:23:17.845 --> 00:23:19.112
- Thanks.

520
00:23:19.112 --> 00:23:20.500
(peaceful music)

521
00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:22.630
But we've been talking
about global warming

522
00:23:22.630 --> 00:23:24.590
and climate change.

523
00:23:24.590 --> 00:23:27.850
Seriously, talking about
changing it and stopping it,

524
00:23:27.850 --> 00:23:31.930
and not polluting, for over 30 years.

525
00:23:31.930 --> 00:23:35.756
And we pollute way more now
than we did 30 years ago.

526
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:38.530
So, is it too late?

527
00:23:38.530 --> 00:23:40.000
Not if we plant trees

528
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.375
and not if we cut our emissions.

529
00:23:42.375 --> 00:23:44.696
Thank you very much for your attention.

530
00:23:44.696 --> 00:23:47.480
(students applauding)

531
00:23:48.761 --> 00:23:50.177
[Student] Thank you.

532
00:23:52.350 --> 00:23:55.330
- I wanted to ask what
went through your head,

533
00:23:55.330 --> 00:23:57.700
when you shut off that pipeline,

534
00:23:57.700 --> 00:24:00.110
because I was wondering
if you were nervous,

535
00:24:00.110 --> 00:24:03.077
if you knew, ultimately,
you were gonna get arrested.

536
00:24:03.077 --> 00:24:06.777
- I think most laws are
about protecting life.

537
00:24:06.777 --> 00:24:09.233
But some laws are about
protecting property.

538
00:24:10.260 --> 00:24:13.550
And when the laws that protect
property are more important

539
00:24:13.550 --> 00:24:15.760
than the laws that protect life.

540
00:24:15.760 --> 00:24:17.899
Things get pretty messed up.

541
00:24:17.899 --> 00:24:19.450
- Were you nervous at all?

542
00:24:19.450 --> 00:24:20.800
Because I know I'd be really nervous

543
00:24:20.800 --> 00:24:22.948
if I was going to shut down a pipeline.

544
00:24:22.948 --> 00:24:23.986
Yeah, I was.

545
00:24:23.986 --> 00:24:26.890
It felt, just for a moment,

546
00:24:26.890 --> 00:24:29.703
like I was standing on
the right side of history.

547
00:24:30.790 --> 00:24:33.090
That was a crazy, good feeling.

548
00:24:33.090 --> 00:24:34.941
- Wow. That's really cool.

549
00:24:34.941 --> 00:24:35.799
- Yeah.

550
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:38.870
I never wanted to be
that guy in times square

551
00:24:38.870 --> 00:24:42.213
with the cardboard sign that
says, "The end is near."

552
00:24:42.213 --> 00:24:43.616
Right?

553
00:24:43.616 --> 00:24:46.860
But it seems like that's
my destiny, somehow.

554
00:24:46.860 --> 00:24:49.040
So, it's a little crazy making,

555
00:24:49.040 --> 00:24:52.950
because the more honest I get,
the more passionate I get.

556
00:24:52.950 --> 00:24:56.815
And of course, as soon
as that energy comes out,

557
00:24:56.815 --> 00:24:59.507
people say, "Oh, this guy's a nut job.

558
00:24:59.507 --> 00:25:01.979
Get him outta here. Whatever he says,

559
00:25:01.979 --> 00:25:04.440
it doesn't matter if
he's telling the truth.

560
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:06.773
He's insane."

561
00:25:06.773 --> 00:25:08.459
- (indistinct chatter)

562
00:25:08.459 --> 00:25:09.773
- Here we go.

563
00:25:09.773 --> 00:25:11.231
Wow. Okay, keep going.

564
00:25:11.231 --> 00:25:14.530
(crowd cheering)

565
00:25:17.742 --> 00:25:19.099
- (Breakfast chatter).

566
00:25:19.099 --> 00:25:22.186
- I have somebodys water battle.

567
00:25:22.186 --> 00:25:27.186
- We set off and very quickly
we get out of the cities

568
00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:29.340
and into the desert.

569
00:25:29.340 --> 00:25:30.880
It was brutal.

570
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:32.800
We were walking through the Mohavi

571
00:25:32.800 --> 00:25:35.200
and we see a huge sign
on the side of the road,

572
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:37.860
'No services, 100 miles."

573
00:25:37.860 --> 00:25:41.573
So, we had to walk over a
week without anything, really.

574
00:25:42.625 --> 00:25:45.542
(soft piano music)

575
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.440
- I suggest we don't go too much further,

576
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:52.770
without somebody knowing where we are.

577
00:25:52.770 --> 00:25:56.970
- Hello, hello, hello anybody there?

578
00:25:56.970 --> 00:25:58.933
We have no idea where we're at.

579
00:26:01.690 --> 00:26:03.570
Maybe if we all yell.

580
00:26:04.714 --> 00:26:05.970
Help!

581
00:26:05.970 --> 00:26:07.783
- Come find us!

582
00:26:09.990 --> 00:26:12.980
- I know that I believe strongly

583
00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:16.130
that doing whatever I can do,

584
00:26:16.130 --> 00:26:18.970
walking across the country
for 7 million steps

585
00:26:18.970 --> 00:26:20.430
is helping to save the planet.

586
00:26:20.430 --> 00:26:24.043
Waking people up about what
they need to do in their house

587
00:26:24.043 --> 00:26:25.880
and in their community,
and in their state,

588
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:28.540
in our country, and in our world.

589
00:26:28.540 --> 00:26:31.511
Famous last words, its easy to find.

590
00:26:31.511 --> 00:26:33.179
- Miriam yes.

591
00:26:36.535 --> 00:26:38.973
- You want this done is that right?

592
00:26:38.973 --> 00:26:39.806
- Right.

593
00:26:39.806 --> 00:26:41.182
- I think we definitely can affect change.

594
00:26:41.182 --> 00:26:43.760
I think we definitely are
affecting change already.

595
00:26:43.760 --> 00:26:46.040
'Cause you can't focus on the negative

596
00:26:46.040 --> 00:26:48.210
to create a better solution.

597
00:26:48.210 --> 00:26:52.120
You can't focus on these
dark, deep, scary things

598
00:26:52.120 --> 00:26:55.270
to have this bright,
happy, positive attitude.

599
00:26:55.270 --> 00:26:57.789
Positivity is necessary.

600
00:26:57.789 --> 00:26:59.533
(soft upbeat music)

601
00:26:59.533 --> 00:27:01.346
- Should I leave one?

602
00:27:01.346 --> 00:27:02.554
(laughing)

603
00:27:02.554 --> 00:27:04.153
Find the best one.

604
00:27:04.153 --> 00:27:06.043
I'll leave this one right
here. It's a good one.

605
00:27:06.043 --> 00:27:07.520
- It's all part of the adventure and

606
00:27:07.520 --> 00:27:09.020
It might be wet and cold sometimes.

607
00:27:09.020 --> 00:27:11.030
It'll be blistering hot other times.

608
00:27:11.030 --> 00:27:13.780
So that's very exciting. Feels epic to me.

609
00:27:13.780 --> 00:27:15.730
Honestly, looking at the map, really,

610
00:27:15.730 --> 00:27:17.890
doesn't do it any justice at all.

611
00:27:17.890 --> 00:27:20.660
It'll be so much fun when
we reach that final point

612
00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:23.478
and coming into Washington, DC.

613
00:27:23.478 --> 00:27:25.978
I just, I know I'll be so excited.

614
00:27:32.683 --> 00:27:35.238
(crickets humming)

615
00:27:35.238 --> 00:27:38.388
(footsteps of the marchers)

616
00:27:42.487 --> 00:27:43.750
- I think Sean and I,

617
00:27:43.750 --> 00:27:47.163
we both push each other
in a very positive way.

618
00:27:48.020 --> 00:27:51.055
Sean is my best friend in the whole world.

619
00:27:51.055 --> 00:27:54.050
I don't feel like I need to
pretend to be something I'm not,

620
00:27:54.050 --> 00:27:56.770
I can be completely and fully myself.

621
00:27:56.770 --> 00:27:59.130
- I just love that Mack's
says yes to everything.

622
00:27:59.130 --> 00:28:02.550
I love that he's just ready
to just jump into anything

623
00:28:02.550 --> 00:28:05.090
that seems to be the right thing to do.

624
00:28:05.090 --> 00:28:07.240
Like right now we need
people who are ready

625
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:11.810
to say yes to anything and
everything that will save us,

626
00:28:11.810 --> 00:28:15.013
and be ready to go battle.

627
00:28:15.962 --> 00:28:18.711
- I always feel like you're
saying yes to things.

628
00:28:18.711 --> 00:28:19.773
(Sean laughs)

629
00:28:19.773 --> 00:28:20.881
I think we're a good duo.

630
00:28:20.881 --> 00:28:22.725
- Yeah I think so too.

631
00:28:22.725 --> 00:28:24.370
(soft inspiring music)

632
00:28:24.370 --> 00:28:27.600
- Sometimes when the earth
is calling us to greatness,

633
00:28:27.600 --> 00:28:30.040
we need to really step up to that level

634
00:28:30.040 --> 00:28:33.804
and we need to take that level of risk.

635
00:28:33.804 --> 00:28:37.165
I mean, what's stopping
us from saving the earth.

636
00:28:37.165 --> 00:28:39.410
It's a legal force.

637
00:28:39.410 --> 00:28:41.220
I mean, it's breaking the law

638
00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:44.000
and I'm willing to take that risk myself.

639
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.683
I'm willing to sacrifice everything.

640
00:28:49.060 --> 00:28:51.219
Sean is the best. (laughs)

641
00:28:51.219 --> 00:28:52.660
- Your the best.

642
00:28:52.660 --> 00:28:54.582
- I love you so much.

643
00:28:54.582 --> 00:28:56.477
- I love you so much.

644
00:28:56.477 --> 00:28:59.070
You keep me warm, which is nice.

645
00:28:59.070 --> 00:29:00.333
Cause I'm cold.

646
00:29:00.333 --> 00:29:01.166
- Sean gets cold all the time.

647
00:29:16.708 --> 00:29:18.400
A crow cawing

648
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.750
- This fur tree right
here. I used to climb it.

649
00:29:21.750 --> 00:29:24.140
When you get to the top
of a tree, you can...

650
00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:25.680
You look out over the canopy

651
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:28.971
and you get this sort of
transcendent experience

652
00:29:28.971 --> 00:29:32.682
of the rolling and the shape of the land.

653
00:29:32.682 --> 00:29:35.580
Birds floating from tree top to tree top.

654
00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:38.680
So, I decided it was time to
come down and the sun had set.

655
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:42.970
And um, just as soon as I stepped down,

656
00:29:42.970 --> 00:29:47.970
the first branch I stepped on gave way

657
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.540
and I fell backwards and I was
about 60 feet up in the tree.

658
00:29:51.540 --> 00:29:55.241
I had just enough time to
think, "This could be it."

659
00:29:55.241 --> 00:29:57.600
And then bam, I hit the ground.

660
00:29:57.600 --> 00:29:59.056
Well, I tried to get up,

661
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.038
but I had shattered T12, L1 and 2.

662
00:30:03.038 --> 00:30:05.168
The message of getting up,

663
00:30:05.168 --> 00:30:07.911
really, wasn't getting to
translate into my body.

664
00:30:07.911 --> 00:30:09.050
EMT came.

665
00:30:09.050 --> 00:30:10.777
And then I got into a helicopter,

666
00:30:10.777 --> 00:30:12.660
and went to the Trauma
Center at Harbor view.

667
00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:14.540
So, then I had a big recuperation period.

668
00:30:14.540 --> 00:30:18.703
And it was Esther who stood
by me through all of that.

669
00:30:18.703 --> 00:30:21.120
(rhythmic drum music)

670
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:32.983
We started taking drum
lessons together, right?

671
00:30:32.983 --> 00:30:33.991
Yeah. Yeah.

672
00:30:33.991 --> 00:30:35.870
So, we took drum lessons together and...

673
00:30:35.870 --> 00:30:37.448
We had to practice.

674
00:30:37.448 --> 00:30:39.489
(Ester agrees) We had to practice.

675
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:45.321
I do a lot of Aerial skills

676
00:30:45.321 --> 00:30:46.910
with our theater company

677
00:30:46.910 --> 00:30:50.246
and I met bill here, maybe
about a year and a half into it.

678
00:30:51.560 --> 00:30:53.730
Bill and I at that time
had already started,

679
00:30:53.730 --> 00:30:55.790
I think, really, falling in love.

680
00:30:55.790 --> 00:30:58.648
You know it's hard. I can't
say on my side it's easy,

681
00:30:58.648 --> 00:31:00.480
when Bill's gone a lot.

682
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:02.960
- You didn't really sign
up for the activist part.

683
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:04.310
- I didn't know the activists.

684
00:31:04.310 --> 00:31:05.170
- Right. She didn't-

685
00:31:05.170 --> 00:31:06.750
- I had no idea.

686
00:31:06.750 --> 00:31:08.200
I knew Bill as Bill.

687
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:09.570
That Bill was a percussionist.

688
00:31:09.570 --> 00:31:11.500
And it was definitely a ride.

689
00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:15.286
And I was kinda going,
'Who is this person?'

690
00:31:15.286 --> 00:31:17.786
(Ship horn)

691
00:31:21.505 --> 00:31:23.430
- When we hear that the Federica,

692
00:31:23.430 --> 00:31:25.230
the ship is leaving the dock.

693
00:31:25.230 --> 00:31:26.800
And is coming down the river.

694
00:31:26.800 --> 00:31:30.099
Now we know it's gonna leave.
We're hitting the river.

695
00:31:30.099 --> 00:31:33.147
And everybody had that same
gestalt, like, "Hell no."

696
00:31:34.494 --> 00:31:35.880
(rousing music)

697
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:38.490
In the morning, as we're getting
ready to get in the water,

698
00:31:38.490 --> 00:31:40.220
putting lights on kayaks.

699
00:31:40.220 --> 00:31:42.260
All of a sudden we look in the distance

700
00:31:42.260 --> 00:31:45.925
and these lights start dropping
from the St John's bridge.

701
00:31:45.925 --> 00:31:47.098
One after another.

702
00:31:47.098 --> 00:31:49.310
And pretty soon there
were 13 lights dangling

703
00:31:49.310 --> 00:31:50.668
from the bridge.

704
00:31:50.668 --> 00:31:54.650
And we realize, Greenpeace had
just done the perfect action.

705
00:31:54.650 --> 00:31:56.968
People were super courageous out there

706
00:31:56.968 --> 00:32:00.250
and we were getting 60,
70, 80 kayaks on the water.

707
00:32:00.250 --> 00:32:02.398
The crowd is on the side, chanting.

708
00:32:02.398 --> 00:32:03.985
- [crowd] Stop that boat.

709
00:32:03.985 --> 00:32:06.567
Stop that boat, stop that boat.

710
00:32:06.567 --> 00:32:09.800
And so we all, by instinct, basically,

711
00:32:09.800 --> 00:32:12.182
I think, hit the water.

712
00:32:12.182 --> 00:32:15.555
- [Police megaphone] You are
unwelcome and are trespassing.

713
00:32:15.555 --> 00:32:18.470
You are violating the safety
zone set by the coast guard,

714
00:32:18.470 --> 00:32:21.114
as well as a Federal court injunction

715
00:32:21.114 --> 00:32:23.117
against Greenpeace and those--

716
00:32:23.117 --> 00:32:24.555
(boat engine revving)

717
00:32:24.555 --> 00:32:25.388
(water splashing)

718
00:32:25.388 --> 00:32:26.708
You are unwelcome and are trespassing.

719
00:32:26.708 --> 00:32:28.632
You are violating the safety
zone set by the coast guard,

720
00:32:28.632 --> 00:32:31.413
as well as a federal court injuntion.

721
00:32:31.413 --> 00:32:32.620
(dramatic music)

722
00:32:32.620 --> 00:32:34.870
[Bill] Those people still in the water?

723
00:32:36.067 --> 00:32:38.635
[Bill's Colleague] They
are trying to swam us.

724
00:32:38.635 --> 00:32:40.244
Bill, they were gonna try back up on us.

725
00:32:40.244 --> 00:32:42.310
[Bill] We just have to watch
out for people's safety,

726
00:32:42.310 --> 00:32:44.351
that's the main thing.

727
00:32:44.351 --> 00:32:46.934
Whow, whoa, whoa, look at that.

728
00:32:46.934 --> 00:32:48.767
You're endangering him

729
00:32:48.767 --> 00:32:50.880
Hey, let us give him a life jacket.

730
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:52.843
(Again) Hey let us give him a life jacket!

731
00:33:02.459 --> 00:33:04.159
Stirring music

732
00:33:08.090 --> 00:33:11.100
Here It was a crazy scene,
you know the jet skis,

733
00:33:11.100 --> 00:33:13.524
stirring people up and tossing them over.

734
00:33:13.524 --> 00:33:17.000
And people capsize and
people floating in water.

735
00:33:18.762 --> 00:33:21.940
It was total insanity and hypocrisy.

736
00:33:21.940 --> 00:33:25.990
And it was maddening, and
people weren't taking it

737
00:33:25.990 --> 00:33:28.243
and the crowd was cheering them on.

738
00:33:30.730 --> 00:33:33.170
We all went out into the river in mass

739
00:33:33.170 --> 00:33:35.462
there's nothing they
can do about the charge.

740
00:33:35.462 --> 00:33:38.833
Really brave... beautiful moment.

741
00:33:38.833 --> 00:33:40.107
(crowd chanting)

742
00:33:40.107 --> 00:33:41.340
Powerful music

743
00:33:43.530 --> 00:33:46.200
We're ready to risk something real

744
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:48.810
and not be just symbolic on the water.

745
00:33:48.810 --> 00:33:51.613
Yeah. So, it was freaking amazing.

746
00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:55.860
- Good morning, Dr. James.

747
00:33:55.860 --> 00:33:57.100
- Good morning.

748
00:33:57.100 --> 00:34:00.061
Could you tell us a little
bit about your background?

749
00:34:00.061 --> 00:34:03.640
I've been in medical
practice about 30 years.

750
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:08.640
I teach, do research
and do medical practice.

751
00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:11.930
- Okay. So, when did you
first become involved then?

752
00:34:11.930 --> 00:34:16.083
- On June 10th, 1999 at 5:02 in the- um...

753
00:34:17.066 --> 00:34:18.190
(crowd laughing)

754
00:34:18.190 --> 00:34:20.062
- That's a pretty precise, time.

755
00:34:20.062 --> 00:34:23.200
Well it's precise because an
oil line going through our town

756
00:34:23.200 --> 00:34:24.533
blew up at that point.

757
00:34:24.533 --> 00:34:27.225
And one of the kids that
I took care of died.

758
00:34:31.916 --> 00:34:33.241
Excuse me.

759
00:34:36.007 --> 00:34:37.931
Most people who live in Bellingham,

760
00:34:37.931 --> 00:34:39.789
remember that date and time--

761
00:34:39.789 --> 00:34:41.847
- Because a huge cloud of smoke went up

762
00:34:41.847 --> 00:34:43.930
and several young people were killed.

763
00:34:44.908 --> 00:34:47.110
They lived, they survived the explosion,

764
00:34:47.110 --> 00:34:48.890
but 90% of their body was...

765
00:34:48.890 --> 00:34:50.490
The skin was burnt off.

766
00:34:50.490 --> 00:34:53.492
And they survived for about
12 hours at Harbor view.

767
00:34:53.492 --> 00:34:56.973
Where they were able to
talk with their parents.

768
00:34:58.180 --> 00:34:59.876
- Thank you, sir. You may step down.

769
00:34:59.876 --> 00:35:00.876
- Thank you.

770
00:35:05.027 --> 00:35:07.909
- The defense calls Abigail
Brockway to the stand.

771
00:35:07.909 --> 00:35:10.000
- Thank you, Ms. Brockway, please come up.

772
00:35:13.260 --> 00:35:14.890
Just raise your right hand for me.

773
00:35:14.890 --> 00:35:16.280
Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth,

774
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:17.640
the whole truth and nothing but the truth,

775
00:35:17.640 --> 00:35:18.970
under penalty of perjury.

776
00:35:18.970 --> 00:35:20.200
- So, help me, God.

777
00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:22.640
- Thank you. Please have a seat, ma'am.

778
00:35:22.640 --> 00:35:24.680
- Okay, Abby, tell us
something about yourself.

779
00:35:24.680 --> 00:35:27.260
Your background to start with.

780
00:35:27.260 --> 00:35:31.950
- I was born in Bellevue,
Washington in February of 1969.

781
00:35:32.860 --> 00:35:35.360
I went to college...

782
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:36.701
Wait.

783
00:35:36.701 --> 00:35:38.470
Tense music

784
00:35:38.470 --> 00:35:40.507
- Where did you go to college?

785
00:35:40.507 --> 00:35:43.190
- Cornish college of the
arts on Capitol Hill.

786
00:35:43.190 --> 00:35:44.023
- Okay.

787
00:35:44.023 --> 00:35:46.990
- And um, then I... um...

788
00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:51.020
Should I be looking over-- ?

789
00:35:51.020 --> 00:35:51.853
- Just answer the question.

790
00:35:51.853 --> 00:35:53.702
Don't worry about where you look.

791
00:35:53.702 --> 00:35:54.535
- Um...

792
00:35:56.270 --> 00:35:58.757
- Did that lead to the
work that you do now?

793
00:36:00.725 --> 00:36:04.429
- Um, can I just slow down a
little bit or are we in a rush?

794
00:36:04.429 --> 00:36:06.078
- I'm trying to help you here.

795
00:36:06.078 --> 00:36:08.748
Did your artistry lead to
the work you're doing now?

796
00:36:13.950 --> 00:36:16.760
- What I also wanted to say was, um--

797
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:18.793
- Objection, your honor. Unresponsive.

798
00:36:18.793 --> 00:36:20.442
- Sustained. Ask a question council.

799
00:36:20.442 --> 00:36:21.970
- Just answer my questions, okay--

800
00:36:21.970 --> 00:36:23.467
- Your question was
tell you about yourself

801
00:36:23.467 --> 00:36:24.510
and your crowding me.

802
00:36:24.510 --> 00:36:26.423
I'm trying to have some
space to tell about myself.

803
00:36:26.423 --> 00:36:27.410
May I do that?

804
00:36:27.410 --> 00:36:30.045
- Ms. Brokway, I won't
have you arguing with,

805
00:36:30.045 --> 00:36:31.966
particularly, with your own lawyer.

806
00:36:31.966 --> 00:36:32.799
(laughing)

807
00:36:32.799 --> 00:36:34.490
Mr. Goldsmith will ask you a question,

808
00:36:34.490 --> 00:36:35.380
answer that question, please.

809
00:36:35.380 --> 00:36:36.790
Mr. Goldsmith, please proceed.

810
00:36:36.790 --> 00:36:38.199
- Thank you your honor.

811
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:41.465
Now, how did you learn about the issues

812
00:36:41.465 --> 00:36:44.898
that ultimately led to
your action in this case?

813
00:36:47.823 --> 00:36:48.814
I um...

814
00:36:50.996 --> 00:36:52.287
I...

815
00:36:52.287 --> 00:36:54.106
Was there something that happened

816
00:36:54.106 --> 00:36:56.507
in the summer of 2014, near your home

817
00:36:56.507 --> 00:36:59.343
that moved you to more action?

818
00:37:01.300 --> 00:37:02.500
- Yes.

819
00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:03.750
- What was that?

820
00:37:03.750 --> 00:37:07.200
- There was a derailment
underneath the Magnolia bridge.

821
00:37:07.200 --> 00:37:11.550
- What did you do in
response to that situation?

822
00:37:14.847 --> 00:37:15.680
I...

823
00:37:17.122 --> 00:37:18.180
(Sighs)

824
00:37:19.355 --> 00:37:21.197
- Can I just have a minute?

825
00:37:21.197 --> 00:37:23.310
- Could you try to just
answer that question?

826
00:37:23.310 --> 00:37:25.048
- Okay. Can you just tell me again?

827
00:37:25.048 --> 00:37:27.280
- Okay. What did you
do in response to that?

828
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.280
To learning about that derailment?

829
00:37:30.275 --> 00:37:31.108
I um...

830
00:37:32.940 --> 00:37:34.610
- I was really worried,
because that was right,

831
00:37:34.610 --> 00:37:36.818
one mile from my daughter's school.

832
00:37:36.818 --> 00:37:38.476
And there's a thing

833
00:37:38.476 --> 00:37:41.160
called a blast zone that I learned about.

834
00:37:41.160 --> 00:37:46.151
And um, so, anywhere within
a mile of an explosion,

835
00:37:47.627 --> 00:37:49.920
when an oil train explodes,

836
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:53.122
then you're supposed
to evacuate that area.

837
00:37:53.122 --> 00:37:54.314
- [Lawyer] Right.

838
00:37:54.314 --> 00:37:56.740
- And my daughter's school
was on the edge of that area.

839
00:37:56.740 --> 00:37:57.760
- All right.

840
00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:01.190
What kinds of activities,
up before September 2nd,

841
00:38:01.190 --> 00:38:04.170
did you do to try to affect change

842
00:38:04.170 --> 00:38:06.290
in those areas of your concern?

843
00:38:08.231 --> 00:38:10.238
- Will you asked the question
one more time, please.

844
00:38:10.238 --> 00:38:14.190
- What types of things did
you do to try to affect change

845
00:38:14.190 --> 00:38:16.150
in those areas of your concern?

846
00:38:16.150 --> 00:38:17.772
Have you written letters?

847
00:38:17.772 --> 00:38:19.830
- I'm feeling rushed. Can we
just slow down a little bit?

848
00:38:19.830 --> 00:38:20.818
[Lawyer] I'm trying to--

849
00:38:20.818 --> 00:38:22.393
'Cause I'm kind of anxious

850
00:38:22.393 --> 00:38:24.238
and I just wanna take some
deep breaths in between,

851
00:38:24.238 --> 00:38:26.180
and I'm feeling like you're in a hurry.

852
00:38:26.180 --> 00:38:28.497
- Okay, your honor. Can
we take a morning recess?

853
00:38:28.497 --> 00:38:30.437
- We're gonna take a morning recess,

854
00:38:30.437 --> 00:38:33.630
so that counsel can talk
with Ms. Brockway about,

855
00:38:33.630 --> 00:38:36.130
sort of, how to make this go a little bit,

856
00:38:36.130 --> 00:38:38.098
more smoothly for all of us.

857
00:38:38.098 --> 00:38:40.627
- Okay, Abby, you can step down.

858
00:38:43.183 --> 00:38:44.650
Okay. Let's talk a minute.

859
00:38:44.650 --> 00:38:46.373
- Can we have a private talk in the-

860
00:38:46.373 --> 00:38:47.440
- Yes. We can have a private talk.

861
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:49.500
Okay, we're gonna go around the corner.

862
00:38:49.500 --> 00:38:51.799
You have to listen to the question.

863
00:38:51.799 --> 00:38:52.632
- Okay.

864
00:38:52.632 --> 00:38:54.429
- The first rule and you're not.

865
00:38:54.429 --> 00:38:56.313
Just trying to say what
comes to your mind.

866
00:38:56.313 --> 00:38:58.157
- Yes. I want to say somethings.

867
00:38:58.157 --> 00:39:00.440
I know you do, but it's
not how testimonial works.

868
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:03.170
We're gonna have a
conversation, just calm down.

869
00:39:03.170 --> 00:39:04.103
- Okay.

870
00:39:04.103 --> 00:39:06.177
- Breathe. And you gotta be focused.

871
00:39:06.177 --> 00:39:07.010
- Okay.

872
00:39:07.010 --> 00:39:08.434
- Got it. You're good. Now go relax.

873
00:39:08.434 --> 00:39:09.560
- I'm not good.

874
00:39:09.560 --> 00:39:11.573
- Yes you are. I want you now to relax.

875
00:39:11.573 --> 00:39:13.050
- I don't-- it's really...

876
00:39:13.050 --> 00:39:14.463
There's a lot of pressure.

877
00:39:14.463 --> 00:39:15.491
- I know.

878
00:39:15.491 --> 00:39:17.732
There is pressure, it's in your head.

879
00:39:17.732 --> 00:39:20.057
- Thank you. Please be seated everyone.

880
00:39:20.910 --> 00:39:22.270
Ms. Brockway, you remain under oath.

881
00:39:22.270 --> 00:39:25.310
Mr. Goldsmith, please proceed
with your examination.

882
00:39:25.310 --> 00:39:26.835
- Thank you, your honor.

883
00:39:26.835 --> 00:39:29.476
Okay, so did you start
getting involved with,

884
00:39:29.476 --> 00:39:32.458
quote, actions or protests?

885
00:39:32.458 --> 00:39:34.390
- Yeah, I actually signed

886
00:39:34.390 --> 00:39:36.780
the Keystone pipeline
Pledge of resistance.

887
00:39:36.780 --> 00:39:38.865
- Why did you feel the
need to get involved

888
00:39:38.865 --> 00:39:41.550
in specific actions like that?

889
00:39:41.550 --> 00:39:43.230
- Because everything that I did,

890
00:39:43.230 --> 00:39:45.400
I didn't feel like it was
making any difference.

891
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:48.360
It felt like the projects
were being rubber stamped,

892
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:49.560
no matter what we did,

893
00:39:49.560 --> 00:39:52.080
no matter how the quality
of our comments were

894
00:39:52.080 --> 00:39:53.880
and how large the crowds were,

895
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:56.080
and how little the opposition was,

896
00:39:56.080 --> 00:39:59.052
it just seemed like those
were still getting approved.

897
00:39:59.052 --> 00:40:02.910
Okay. So, did you get involved
in protest type of actions?

898
00:40:02.910 --> 00:40:04.040
Correct?

899
00:40:04.040 --> 00:40:06.810
- Before I'd switched to direct action.

900
00:40:06.810 --> 00:40:10.260
I actually felt like I tried
to work within the system

901
00:40:10.260 --> 00:40:12.320
to the fullest extent possible.

902
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:17.170
I felt like it was very symbolic
that we chose to trespass,

903
00:40:17.170 --> 00:40:20.290
because I felt that the
railroad and the oil,

904
00:40:20.290 --> 00:40:22.941
they were trespassing against us.

905
00:40:22.941 --> 00:40:23.940
- Okay. Thank you.

906
00:40:23.940 --> 00:40:25.960
- Thank you ma'am. If you
could please step down.

907
00:40:31.830 --> 00:40:32.830
All rise for the jury.

908
00:40:32.830 --> 00:40:34.530
We'll see everyone at one o'clock.

909
00:40:38.190 --> 00:40:39.390
- It's Over.

910
00:40:39.390 --> 00:40:41.551
I didn't do so well, but it's over.

911
00:40:41.551 --> 00:40:42.853
Are we you okay?

912
00:40:42.853 --> 00:40:45.595
- I don't give a damn about this case.

913
00:40:45.595 --> 00:40:47.373
That's not what my issue is, at all.

914
00:40:49.060 --> 00:40:50.740
I love you.

915
00:40:57.759 --> 00:41:00.372
- Do you remember when we
were first getting together?

916
00:41:00.372 --> 00:41:03.950
- Yeah. This is our park
to come and hang out and-

917
00:41:03.950 --> 00:41:05.557
- Yeah.

918
00:41:05.557 --> 00:41:07.070
- I felt like I was a teenager.

919
00:41:07.070 --> 00:41:08.360
- Mm-hmm.

920
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:11.210
- Like if dating is gonna
mess up our friendship,

921
00:41:11.210 --> 00:41:12.160
let's not do it.

922
00:41:12.160 --> 00:41:14.860
- Yeah. I don't know.

923
00:41:14.860 --> 00:41:16.110
- So far it's been okay.

924
00:41:16.110 --> 00:41:18.490
- So far it's been all right.

925
00:41:18.490 --> 00:41:20.110
- I remember that day,

926
00:41:20.110 --> 00:41:23.511
I was at the youth leadership breakfast,

927
00:41:23.511 --> 00:41:27.497
and I look at my phone and it says,

928
00:41:27.497 --> 00:41:29.842
"Michael Foster, just shut down

929
00:41:29.842 --> 00:41:32.878
the tar sands in North Dakota."

930
00:41:32.878 --> 00:41:35.380
And I'm like... Ugh.

931
00:41:35.380 --> 00:41:38.719
And then I just thought, this
is gonna change everything.

932
00:41:39.940 --> 00:41:44.934
'Cause, like, there was our
life before the valve turning

933
00:41:44.934 --> 00:41:49.934
and our life after you shut that oil off.

934
00:41:50.069 --> 00:41:52.292
- Yeah.

935
00:41:52.292 --> 00:41:55.050
- But that night not being able

936
00:41:55.050 --> 00:41:58.151
to know what jail you were in

937
00:41:58.151 --> 00:42:03.151
and not knowing what was gonna happen,

938
00:42:05.180 --> 00:42:08.690
and realizing when your house is on fire,

939
00:42:08.690 --> 00:42:12.023
you do everything you can to put it out.

940
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:14.457
- Yeah.

941
00:42:14.457 --> 00:42:16.290
- And so, I don't know.

942
00:42:16.290 --> 00:42:17.486
- I love you.

943
00:42:17.486 --> 00:42:18.719
- I love you too.

944
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:20.908
- I'm so glad you came into my life.

945
00:42:20.908 --> 00:42:23.470
I don't know what I would
have done without you.

946
00:42:23.470 --> 00:42:26.350
My ex-wife had this idea,
even from the beginning,

947
00:42:26.350 --> 00:42:29.260
that I was gonna, one day, leave her

948
00:42:29.260 --> 00:42:32.892
for, I think, she called
it a Granola Hippie Chick.

949
00:42:32.892 --> 00:42:35.620
Maybe, she saw in the
crystal ball or something,

950
00:42:35.620 --> 00:42:37.923
because the truth is,

951
00:42:39.370 --> 00:42:42.803
I think climate is what
caused our divorce.

952
00:42:44.050 --> 00:42:47.410
James Hansen, testified before Congress.

953
00:42:47.410 --> 00:42:50.330
And that was what? 1987, 1988.

954
00:42:50.330 --> 00:42:53.790
He basically said that
the ice caps were melting

955
00:42:53.790 --> 00:42:57.500
and that's the refrigerator of the planet.

956
00:42:57.500 --> 00:43:00.670
He said that sea levels were gonna rise.

957
00:43:00.670 --> 00:43:05.670
And, coastal cities
where people live, right?

958
00:43:06.630 --> 00:43:08.880
Is gonna be part of the ocean.

959
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:11.070
Yeah. At that point, I thought, okay.

960
00:43:11.070 --> 00:43:14.735
I'm gonna figure out how to
live with zero carbon footprint.

961
00:43:14.735 --> 00:43:15.769
(soft music)

962
00:43:15.769 --> 00:43:17.494
We were making more money.

963
00:43:17.494 --> 00:43:20.950
We had kids and there were questions

964
00:43:20.950 --> 00:43:23.963
about where are we going for spring break?

965
00:43:25.490 --> 00:43:27.326
Are we gonna go to Hawaii?

966
00:43:28.940 --> 00:43:33.440
I can't take picture my kids
swimming in the Coral reefs

967
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.060
that they're gonna see, 20 years from now,

968
00:43:36.060 --> 00:43:38.240
when the Coral reefs aren't there anymore.

969
00:43:38.240 --> 00:43:39.540
And they're gonna wonder

970
00:43:39.540 --> 00:43:43.473
why we got on a jet and flew to Hawaii.

971
00:43:45.470 --> 00:43:48.427
When the planet was already cooked.

972
00:43:48.427 --> 00:43:52.583
I was becoming more and more obsessed,

973
00:43:53.563 --> 00:43:57.223
and spending less and
less time with my kids.

974
00:43:58.730 --> 00:44:00.670
One of the first biggest,

975
00:44:00.670 --> 00:44:04.710
most awful whack on the side
of the head moments for me

976
00:44:05.580 --> 00:44:09.813
was when I got a note to Santa.

977
00:44:13.165 --> 00:44:18.165
Saying that for Christmas, I
wish I could get my dad back.

978
00:44:20.488 --> 00:44:24.936
I loved them and adored them
every minute I was with them

979
00:44:24.936 --> 00:44:27.220
but I wasn't with them much.

980
00:44:27.220 --> 00:44:31.113
And when I was with them I was
always talking about climate.

981
00:44:32.258 --> 00:44:34.870
And I think it made them nuts.

982
00:44:34.870 --> 00:44:38.753
I don't know how to deal with
myself and my own culpability,

983
00:44:39.882 --> 00:44:42.730
if I don't do everything
I can to stop this.

984
00:44:44.058 --> 00:44:49.053
I-- I really don't know what
kind of human I would be.

985
00:44:52.799 --> 00:44:54.310
(soft conversation)

986
00:44:54.310 --> 00:44:56.860
- Every time before he goes up to talk-

987
00:44:56.860 --> 00:44:59.420
[Aji] At a big event,
with lots of pressure.

988
00:44:59.420 --> 00:45:03.304
- I watch him go through
this angsty phase.

989
00:45:03.304 --> 00:45:05.971
- The five stages of grief basically.

990
00:45:05.971 --> 00:45:07.653
(laughing) I go through the same thing.

991
00:45:07.653 --> 00:45:09.230
I go through the five stages of grief,

992
00:45:09.230 --> 00:45:12.062
like anger, rejection, something else.

993
00:45:12.062 --> 00:45:14.148
Sadness, depression.

994
00:45:14.148 --> 00:45:15.096
- Yeah.

995
00:45:15.096 --> 00:45:17.758
- I tear myself apart on the inside.

996
00:45:17.758 --> 00:45:20.272
It only really happens in situations

997
00:45:20.272 --> 00:45:22.288
where I'm feeling high pressure.

998
00:45:22.288 --> 00:45:24.400
- And there's enormous pressure on us,

999
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:26.800
because we cannot lose this case.

1000
00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:28.892
We cannot lose these cases.

1001
00:45:28.892 --> 00:45:31.550
We don't have that as an option.

1002
00:45:31.550 --> 00:45:33.980
I mean, it's pretty crazy,
because it's now what?

1003
00:45:33.980 --> 00:45:35.750
It's three years now,

1004
00:45:35.750 --> 00:45:37.890
since we filed our
petition for rule making.

1005
00:45:37.890 --> 00:45:39.520
We got the clean air rules.

1006
00:45:39.520 --> 00:45:41.440
So, that's on the books.

1007
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:43.400
I mean, it's being appealed by industry,

1008
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:45.750
but we'll see. It's still there.

1009
00:45:45.750 --> 00:45:49.040
But we were the first
state in the United States

1010
00:45:49.040 --> 00:45:50.540
to ever get that court order.

1011
00:45:50.540 --> 00:45:53.200
To cap that regulate
carbon dioxide emissions.

1012
00:45:53.200 --> 00:45:54.860
So, it's pretty amazing that we were able

1013
00:45:54.860 --> 00:45:56.730
to accomplish that.

1014
00:45:56.730 --> 00:45:58.608
So, everybody has to do their homework

1015
00:45:58.608 --> 00:46:00.290
You'll get edits back.

1016
00:46:00.290 --> 00:46:01.870
I'll email it.

1017
00:46:01.870 --> 00:46:04.263
- You try and stay
idealistic, and positive.

1018
00:46:04.263 --> 00:46:06.560
And it's like, "Okay, maybe this can work,

1019
00:46:06.560 --> 00:46:08.795
because maybe the
politicians will see past

1020
00:46:08.795 --> 00:46:10.710
their own damn dollar bills.

1021
00:46:11.577 --> 00:46:12.543
But no.

1022
00:46:13.490 --> 00:46:16.117
- [Woman] Court in the
state of Washington,

1023
00:46:16.117 --> 00:46:17.087
is now in session.

1024
00:46:17.087 --> 00:46:19.209
The honorable, Michael Scott, presiding.

1025
00:46:19.209 --> 00:46:21.006
- Good morning everyone. Please be seated.

1026
00:46:23.315 --> 00:46:24.540
- Good morning your honor.

1027
00:46:24.540 --> 00:46:27.459
Andrea Rodgers, here on
behalf of the plaintiffs.

1028
00:46:27.459 --> 00:46:30.987
- Good morning, I'm Aji Piper
and I'm the main plaintiff.

1029
00:46:30.987 --> 00:46:34.210
- Laura Watson here from the
state defendants, as well.

1030
00:46:34.210 --> 00:46:35.348
What they're arguing,

1031
00:46:35.348 --> 00:46:37.160
instead, what they say
in their briefing is,

1032
00:46:37.160 --> 00:46:40.380
what we're challenging is quote, policies,

1033
00:46:40.380 --> 00:46:42.730
that legalized dangerous climate change.

1034
00:46:42.730 --> 00:46:44.017
And just to remind the court

1035
00:46:44.017 --> 00:46:45.483
what the plaintiffs are seeking here

1036
00:46:45.483 --> 00:46:49.370
is a 96% reduction in
greenhouse gases by 2050.

1037
00:46:49.370 --> 00:46:51.670
And what they acknowledge is to get that,

1038
00:46:51.670 --> 00:46:53.960
you would have to have
a complete transition

1039
00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:58.427
from gasoline, diesel and
natural gas within 15 years.

1040
00:46:58.427 --> 00:47:00.400
- This case is about decades

1041
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:03.980
of systemic unconstitutional
conduct that rises

1042
00:47:03.980 --> 00:47:05.500
to the level of violating

1043
00:47:05.500 --> 00:47:09.070
these young plaintiffs'
fundamental, constitutional rights.

1044
00:47:09.070 --> 00:47:12.310
There is a fundamental right
to a healthful environment.

1045
00:47:12.310 --> 00:47:14.270
We are alleging that the state government

1046
00:47:14.270 --> 00:47:17.260
is creating, managing,
facilitating and promoting

1047
00:47:17.260 --> 00:47:19.580
an energy and transportation system

1048
00:47:19.580 --> 00:47:21.280
that is causing dangerous levels

1049
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:23.340
of greenhouse gas emissions.

1050
00:47:23.340 --> 00:47:25.300
And we are at a point in time, your honor,

1051
00:47:25.300 --> 00:47:28.570
where there's a very short
window of time in which we have

1052
00:47:28.570 --> 00:47:31.867
to eliminate those emissions
in order to preserve humanity,

1053
00:47:31.867 --> 00:47:32.948
as we know it.

1054
00:47:38.120 --> 00:47:40.780
So, what we just heard
today is we heard argument

1055
00:47:40.780 --> 00:47:44.540
on the state of Washington's
motion to dismiss our case.

1056
00:47:44.540 --> 00:47:48.100
They are arguing that these
kids do not have an opportunity

1057
00:47:48.100 --> 00:47:49.700
and should not have an opportunity

1058
00:47:49.700 --> 00:47:52.108
to hear their claims in a court of law.

1059
00:47:52.108 --> 00:47:54.199
Maybe, Aji, do you wanna start us off?

1060
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:55.550
- Thank you, Andrea.

1061
00:47:55.550 --> 00:47:58.020
Hello everyone. I'm Aji Piper. I'm 17.

1062
00:47:58.020 --> 00:47:59.720
It's kinda hard, right?

1063
00:47:59.720 --> 00:48:01.660
You're sitting in a courtroom.

1064
00:48:01.660 --> 00:48:04.010
You're listening to an
argument that tells you

1065
00:48:04.010 --> 00:48:07.380
that you, essentially,
have no right to clean air.

1066
00:48:07.380 --> 00:48:09.200
I don't know about you,

1067
00:48:09.200 --> 00:48:12.023
but I kind of need clean air to live.

1068
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:15.400
It's not that the government
has not done enough

1069
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:16.930
to protect our climate.

1070
00:48:16.930 --> 00:48:20.270
It's that they have,
actively, destroyed it.

1071
00:48:20.270 --> 00:48:22.350
We're not saying government,
you haven't done enough.

1072
00:48:22.350 --> 00:48:25.251
We're saying government
you're destroying our future.

1073
00:48:25.251 --> 00:48:28.903
and you need to protect
it. (audience applauding)

1074
00:48:31.843 --> 00:48:34.343
- [Climate marchers] California, Arizona,

1075
00:48:35.298 --> 00:48:38.298
New Mexico, Colorado.

1076
00:48:39.484 --> 00:48:42.451
Nebraska (crowd cheering)

1077
00:48:45.975 --> 00:48:47.650
(gentle music)

1078
00:48:47.650 --> 00:48:49.791
(footsteps approaching)

1079
00:49:10.436 --> 00:49:13.186
(tractor engine approaching)

1080
00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:22.853
- At the age of 71 and a half,

1081
00:49:23.780 --> 00:49:26.083
this is really hard on my body.

1082
00:49:31.180 --> 00:49:34.010
At first I get stronger.

1083
00:49:34.010 --> 00:49:39.000
I got... so I could do 15,
18 miles without any problem.

1084
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:42.218
Then I noticed that I was getting tired

1085
00:49:42.218 --> 00:49:44.150
and then my knee started hurting,

1086
00:49:44.150 --> 00:49:45.908
and my hip started hurting.

1087
00:49:45.908 --> 00:49:49.670
And once I started hurting,
that wore me down faster.

1088
00:49:49.670 --> 00:49:52.440
Right now, I feel like I know

1089
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:54.603
what the term bone tired means.

1090
00:49:54.603 --> 00:49:56.310
Bone tired, that's what I am.

1091
00:49:56.310 --> 00:49:58.085
I'm really pretty exhausted.

1092
00:50:00.020 --> 00:50:02.623
Sometimes when I am walking along

1093
00:50:02.623 --> 00:50:04.053
and somebody goes by,

1094
00:50:04.053 --> 00:50:07.163
and gives me a one
fingered wave, that's hard.

1095
00:50:08.012 --> 00:50:09.980
They don't get it. They don't understand.

1096
00:50:09.980 --> 00:50:11.385
They aren't paying attention.

1097
00:50:11.385 --> 00:50:14.260
They're getting their
information in bogus places.

1098
00:50:14.260 --> 00:50:16.490
We're hearing daily and weekly,

1099
00:50:16.490 --> 00:50:20.960
about new indicators that
we are to the tipping point

1100
00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:22.340
or almost to the tipping point,

1101
00:50:22.340 --> 00:50:25.010
beyond which there is not much we can do.

1102
00:50:25.010 --> 00:50:26.875
I think it's a race against time.

1103
00:50:26.875 --> 00:50:29.638
It's a race against what
we've already created.

1104
00:50:29.638 --> 00:50:31.610
And we haven't stopped creating it,

1105
00:50:31.610 --> 00:50:33.223
that's the sad thing.

1106
00:50:36.735 --> 00:50:38.720
This is an antidote to despair for me.

1107
00:50:38.720 --> 00:50:40.890
Action, doing whatever I can,

1108
00:50:40.890 --> 00:50:44.052
making my steps and my
life count for something

1109
00:50:44.052 --> 00:50:45.480
that's bigger than me,

1110
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:47.513
that's more important than me.

1111
00:50:49.013 --> 00:50:52.532
That's how I avoid
despair and hopelessness.

1112
00:50:55.837 --> 00:50:58.251
You don't lose until you quit.

1113
00:50:59.517 --> 00:51:00.880
That's the way I feel.

1114
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:03.416
I don't know what it looked
like, but I'm not quitting.

1115
00:51:13.251 --> 00:51:16.001
(Climate marchers cheering)

1116
00:51:18.744 --> 00:51:19.944
- Don't frack with us

1117
00:51:19.944 --> 00:51:21.049
- (Crowd) Don't frack with us

1118
00:51:21.049 --> 00:51:22.262
- Don't frack with us

1119
00:51:22.262 --> 00:51:23.319
- (Crowd) Don't frack with us

1120
00:51:23.319 --> 00:51:24.387
- Don't frack with us

1121
00:51:24.387 --> 00:51:25.690
- (Crowd) Don't frack with us

1122
00:51:25.690 --> 00:51:26.812
- Don't frack with us

1123
00:51:26.812 --> 00:51:27.878
- (Crowd) Don't frack with us

1124
00:51:27.878 --> 00:51:29.076
- Hey, what do we want?

1125
00:51:29.076 --> 00:51:30.327
- Climate justice.

1126
00:51:30.327 --> 00:51:31.605
- When do we want it?

1127
00:51:31.605 --> 00:51:32.438
- Now!

1128
00:51:32.438 --> 00:51:33.655
- What do we want?

1129
00:51:33.655 --> 00:51:34.488
- Climate justice.

1130
00:51:34.488 --> 00:51:35.321
- When do we want it?

1131
00:51:35.321 --> 00:51:36.321
- Now!

1132
00:51:36.321 --> 00:51:38.164
- And if we don't get it-

1133
00:51:38.164 --> 00:51:38.997
Shut it down!

1134
00:51:38.997 --> 00:51:41.250
- At the people's March in New York,

1135
00:51:41.250 --> 00:51:42.810
on the 21st of September,

1136
00:51:42.810 --> 00:51:44.070
which will go down in infamy.

1137
00:51:44.070 --> 00:51:45.642
Even I will remember that.

1138
00:51:45.642 --> 00:51:47.090
I felt the excitement.

1139
00:51:47.090 --> 00:51:48.720
It felt sort of like a....

1140
00:51:48.720 --> 00:51:50.070
We're in this together.

1141
00:51:50.070 --> 00:51:52.240
We can celebrate being together.

1142
00:51:52.240 --> 00:51:54.040
We can celebrate that
there are so many of us,

1143
00:51:54.040 --> 00:51:56.980
we can celebrate that
we're making progress.

1144
00:51:56.980 --> 00:51:59.540
I felt exhilarated by it.

1145
00:51:59.540 --> 00:52:01.253
It was just exciting and fun.

1146
00:52:02.105 --> 00:52:04.522
(band music)

1147
00:52:07.020 --> 00:52:10.830
They expected maybe 200,000.
They got, maybe, 400,000.

1148
00:52:10.830 --> 00:52:13.560
And those folks who showed up,

1149
00:52:13.560 --> 00:52:17.020
emboldened and energized one another,

1150
00:52:17.020 --> 00:52:20.072
and made us feel we aren't in this alone.

1151
00:52:20.072 --> 00:52:22.219
I think it felt like a game changer.

1152
00:52:22.219 --> 00:52:27.219
(crowd cheering) (band music)

1153
00:52:33.510 --> 00:52:36.114
- The first earth day, 1970,

1154
00:52:36.114 --> 00:52:39.400
you know how many people
went into the streets?

1155
00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:42.418
20 million Americans.

1156
00:52:42.418 --> 00:52:47.360
And because of 20 million
people being in the streets

1157
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:49.813
on April 22nd, 1970,

1158
00:52:51.240 --> 00:52:53.933
our Republican President
named, Richard Nixon,

1159
00:52:54.973 --> 00:52:59.973
ended up championing and
signing environmental laws

1160
00:53:00.860 --> 00:53:04.624
that remain the strongest
environmental laws in the world.

1161
00:53:04.624 --> 00:53:06.210
(soft music)

1162
00:53:06.210 --> 00:53:11.080
The United States is an OPEC
nation in everything, but name.

1163
00:53:11.080 --> 00:53:14.180
Big oil has been running the show here,

1164
00:53:14.180 --> 00:53:15.487
hand and glove with the White House

1165
00:53:15.487 --> 00:53:17.940
and the State Department, since the 1920s.

1166
00:53:17.940 --> 00:53:20.400
And the only way that any politician...

1167
00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:22.940
The only way they can
go against Big Oil is...

1168
00:53:22.940 --> 00:53:27.390
Successfully, is if they are
pushed by a popular movement,

1169
00:53:27.390 --> 00:53:29.137
that is not only pushing them,

1170
00:53:29.137 --> 00:53:31.263
but giving them the political cover

1171
00:53:31.263 --> 00:53:34.040
to do what needs to be done.

1172
00:53:34.040 --> 00:53:36.270
Because, believe me, the
President is gonna get that call

1173
00:53:36.270 --> 00:53:38.047
from the CEO of Exxon, saying,

1174
00:53:38.047 --> 00:53:41.270
"You know, Mr. President, we
really do need that pipeline."

1175
00:53:41.270 --> 00:53:43.820
Or, "We really do need
this vote in Congress."

1176
00:53:43.820 --> 00:53:46.390
And, Presidents get
those calls all the time.

1177
00:53:46.390 --> 00:53:48.753
You just don't read about
them in the newspaper.

1178
00:53:48.753 --> 00:53:51.760
And the only way that the
president can turn down,

1179
00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:53.763
Mr. Exxon Mobil, is to say,

1180
00:53:54.687 --> 00:53:58.450
"You know, I hear you and
I'm trying to help you.

1181
00:53:58.450 --> 00:54:02.133
But, I got 100,000 people
in the street out here.

1182
00:54:03.004 --> 00:54:05.127
And they vote."

1183
00:54:05.127 --> 00:54:07.730
There were 20 million people in the street

1184
00:54:07.730 --> 00:54:09.430
on earth day in 1970.

1185
00:54:09.430 --> 00:54:11.710
Scared the bajesus out of Richard Nixon,

1186
00:54:11.710 --> 00:54:13.260
a Republican president.

1187
00:54:13.260 --> 00:54:14.900
We know this now from the memoirs.

1188
00:54:14.900 --> 00:54:16.257
He decided right then and there.

1189
00:54:16.257 --> 00:54:18.810
Okay, I'm gonna take this
issue away from the Democrats,

1190
00:54:18.810 --> 00:54:20.433
for when I run for reelection...

1191
00:54:20.433 --> 00:54:21.875
I'm gonna take the environmental
issue away from them.

1192
00:54:21.875 --> 00:54:23.800
I'm gonna start the
environmental protection agency.

1193
00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:25.620
I'm gonna start the council
and environmental quality.

1194
00:54:25.620 --> 00:54:28.110
We're gonna sign the clean
air act, the clean water act,

1195
00:54:28.110 --> 00:54:30.800
the endangered species act, et
cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

1196
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:33.510
The most powerful environmental laws

1197
00:54:33.510 --> 00:54:35.469
in the world, to this day.

1198
00:54:35.469 --> 00:54:36.860
Why did they happen?

1199
00:54:36.860 --> 00:54:39.020
They happened because
20 million Americans,

1200
00:54:39.020 --> 00:54:40.540
got into the street.

1201
00:54:40.540 --> 00:54:42.520
And that is what it's going to take

1202
00:54:42.520 --> 00:54:45.018
to really deal with climate change.

1203
00:54:46.011 --> 00:54:48.761
(crowd chanting)

1204
00:54:50.495 --> 00:54:52.493
- Well, what do you think happened?

1205
00:54:52.493 --> 00:54:55.453
Because it was painful to watch.

1206
00:54:56.340 --> 00:54:57.900
- I don't know what happened.

1207
00:54:57.900 --> 00:55:00.760
I don't know if I had a
panic attack or what it was,

1208
00:55:00.760 --> 00:55:03.170
but I really was a mess.

1209
00:55:03.170 --> 00:55:04.960
I've never, not been able

1210
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:08.880
to complete a sentence
like that for so long.

1211
00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:12.203
- Bob said you did a great
job on the second attempt.

1212
00:55:13.210 --> 00:55:16.581
And some other people seem to
be impressed as well, so...

1213
00:55:16.581 --> 00:55:18.930
- You know I don't choose to be this way.

1214
00:55:18.930 --> 00:55:20.560
It's like you are who you are.

1215
00:55:20.560 --> 00:55:24.008
And it's annoying to me and
exhausting sometimes, but like

1216
00:55:29.600 --> 00:55:32.215
I just wanna do something good.

1217
00:55:32.215 --> 00:55:33.048
- Mm-hmm.

1218
00:55:34.204 --> 00:55:36.776
What makes think you are not?

1219
00:55:36.776 --> 00:55:38.430
- And that's what people keep saying.

1220
00:55:38.430 --> 00:55:41.180
And that's not what I'm feeling,

1221
00:55:41.180 --> 00:55:44.363
because if it were just
something that I could say,

1222
00:55:45.536 --> 00:55:47.020
"Oh, okay. I'm just gonna pay attention

1223
00:55:47.020 --> 00:55:50.880
and do what people that I
love are asking me to do."

1224
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:53.740
Then that would be an easy choice,

1225
00:55:53.740 --> 00:55:55.363
but it's not that easy.

1226
00:55:57.046 --> 00:55:58.572
(calm music)

1227
00:55:58.572 --> 00:56:01.463
I feel really tired and drained.

1228
00:56:04.293 --> 00:56:05.720
Coming into the trial,

1229
00:56:05.720 --> 00:56:08.090
I was trying to really present myself,

1230
00:56:08.090 --> 00:56:12.738
as being strong spiritually,
emotionally and physically.

1231
00:56:12.738 --> 00:56:15.451
I really didn't wanna
look like an irrational,

1232
00:56:15.451 --> 00:56:17.167
emotional, loose cannon.

1233
00:56:17.167 --> 00:56:18.533
(Roger) chuckles softly.

1234
00:56:18.533 --> 00:56:20.760
And so, even the judge had to comment,

1235
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:22.440
like, "Why are you
fighting with your lawyer?"

1236
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:23.515
And I was...

1237
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:25.720
So, I don't know.

1238
00:56:25.720 --> 00:56:29.403
- She's got so much information
that she wants to impart.

1239
00:56:30.778 --> 00:56:33.550
I don't know that anybody
would be successful.

1240
00:56:33.550 --> 00:56:34.870
- I couldn't even say my name.

1241
00:56:34.870 --> 00:56:37.100
I really could not say my name.

1242
00:56:37.100 --> 00:56:38.450
It's so emotional for me.

1243
00:56:38.450 --> 00:56:39.390
Like this is...

1244
00:56:39.390 --> 00:56:40.802
It was such a big moment.

1245
00:56:40.802 --> 00:56:43.770
I feel like the Vikings kicker
who missed that field goal.

1246
00:56:43.770 --> 00:56:45.490
And they're out of the
playoffs. That's exact...

1247
00:56:45.490 --> 00:56:48.515
I just missed the field goal.

1248
00:56:48.515 --> 00:56:50.860
For us. I mean, the other
four did such a good job.

1249
00:56:50.860 --> 00:56:52.530
It was really just a...

1250
00:56:52.530 --> 00:56:54.620
That putt in the hole that
you just have to tap in

1251
00:56:54.620 --> 00:56:57.757
and then it just rounds out
and doesn't go in the hole.

1252
00:56:57.757 --> 00:57:00.563
But I, it was bottled up in
me and I wanted to say it,

1253
00:57:00.563 --> 00:57:01.888
and the questions were coming,

1254
00:57:01.888 --> 00:57:02.915
and I had it all laid out.

1255
00:57:02.915 --> 00:57:04.340
And I just was like, "Ah."

1256
00:57:04.340 --> 00:57:06.350
I can't help it that I'm that way.

1257
00:57:06.350 --> 00:57:09.060
- When you came off that
stand the first time,

1258
00:57:09.060 --> 00:57:10.633
I said to you, "I don't..."

1259
00:57:10.633 --> 00:57:12.187
I said this out of tremendous emotion,

1260
00:57:12.187 --> 00:57:14.220
"I don't care about the trial."

1261
00:57:14.220 --> 00:57:15.868
- Yeah, you said that.

1262
00:57:15.868 --> 00:57:17.260
- That's what I mean.

1263
00:57:17.260 --> 00:57:19.938
I don't think you understand
the depth of emotion,

1264
00:57:19.938 --> 00:57:21.950
some of the people around
you are experiencing,

1265
00:57:21.950 --> 00:57:23.833
because you're so caught up in your own.

1266
00:57:25.210 --> 00:57:28.830
- It's hard to watch her in the trial.

1267
00:57:28.830 --> 00:57:32.240
It's harder to watch her
when she's actually talking,

1268
00:57:32.240 --> 00:57:35.350
because usually when
she's crying or upset,

1269
00:57:35.350 --> 00:57:38.070
I cry and I'm upset, because of it.

1270
00:57:38.070 --> 00:57:41.440
So, it's definitely hard
to watch her like that.

1271
00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:45.793
And, yeah. I had to leave because of it.

1272
00:57:45.793 --> 00:57:48.190
'Cause I just couldn't
watch her like that.

1273
00:57:48.190 --> 00:57:51.280
And I don't think it was
helping her that there's...

1274
00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:53.040
That I was upset.

1275
00:57:53.040 --> 00:57:55.310
- Screw the trial, it's
over. It really is.

1276
00:57:55.310 --> 00:57:57.862
And win or lose. You've won,
that's all there is to it.

1277
00:57:57.862 --> 00:58:01.270
'Cause I'd love to have you come back

1278
00:58:01.270 --> 00:58:02.950
from whatever it is that you go do

1279
00:58:02.950 --> 00:58:05.465
and feel like you nailed it.

1280
00:58:05.465 --> 00:58:08.094
How great would my life be at that point?

1281
00:58:08.094 --> 00:58:09.775
(laughing)

1282
00:58:09.775 --> 00:58:12.322
I could get anything I wanted.

1283
00:58:12.322 --> 00:58:13.608
(laughing)

1284
00:58:13.608 --> 00:58:15.524
- What is it that you want?

1285
00:58:16.896 --> 00:58:18.487
- We can't talk about that.

1286
00:58:18.487 --> 00:58:19.487
- Dad!

1287
00:58:19.487 --> 00:58:21.570
(laughing)

1288
00:58:26.214 --> 00:58:27.047
- Okay.

1289
00:58:32.817 --> 00:58:35.130
- I have been advised by the bailiff

1290
00:58:35.130 --> 00:58:39.817
that you have reached a verdict as jurors.

1291
00:58:39.817 --> 00:58:41.470
(soft moving music)

1292
00:58:41.470 --> 00:58:43.660
- In the matter of state of North Dakota,

1293
00:58:43.660 --> 00:58:46.310
versus Michael Eric Foster.

1294
00:58:46.310 --> 00:58:47.910
Count One.

1295
00:58:47.910 --> 00:58:49.290
We the jury impaneled

1296
00:58:49.290 --> 00:58:51.430
and sworn in the above entitled action,

1297
00:58:51.430 --> 00:58:53.970
do find the defendant, Michael Foster,

1298
00:58:53.970 --> 00:58:56.380
guilty of the crime of criminal conspiracy

1299
00:58:56.380 --> 00:58:58.515
to commit criminal mischief.

1300
00:58:59.670 --> 00:59:00.745
Count two.

1301
00:59:00.745 --> 00:59:02.194
We the jury impaneled

1302
00:59:02.194 --> 00:59:04.370
and sworn in the above entitled action

1303
00:59:04.370 --> 00:59:06.097
do find the defendant guilty

1304
00:59:06.097 --> 00:59:08.770
of the crime of criminal mischief.

1305
00:59:08.770 --> 00:59:10.130
Count three.

1306
00:59:10.130 --> 00:59:12.190
We the jury impaneled and sworn

1307
00:59:12.190 --> 00:59:15.543
in the above entitled action
do find the defendant,

1308
00:59:15.543 --> 00:59:19.800
not guilty of the crime
of reckless endangerment.

1309
00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:22.976
- At this, if you please
stand, the jury can be excused.

1310
00:59:25.290 --> 00:59:27.228
- So, the guilty, guilty.

1311
00:59:28.681 --> 00:59:29.514
Ah...

1312
00:59:31.397 --> 00:59:36.290
It was bad, but I got the
first not guilty verdict

1313
00:59:36.290 --> 00:59:38.382
on reckless endangerment.

1314
00:59:40.640 --> 00:59:44.570
The prosecutor compared
me to the 9/11 hijackers,

1315
00:59:44.570 --> 00:59:46.650
compared me to the unibomber.

1316
00:59:46.650 --> 00:59:49.240
And said that if the jury let this go,

1317
00:59:49.240 --> 00:59:51.920
it was gonna bring Sharia
law to North Dakota.

1318
00:59:51.920 --> 00:59:54.455
I'm not joking about that. (chuckles)

1319
00:59:54.455 --> 00:59:58.916
So, after all that, he's
gonna cause a accident,

1320
00:59:58.916 --> 01:00:00.819
he's gonna cause an oil spill.

1321
01:00:00.819 --> 01:00:03.057
He's gonna do all these
terrible things to your farm,

1322
01:00:03.057 --> 01:00:04.402
to your community.

1323
01:00:04.402 --> 01:00:06.146
He doesn't care about people.

1324
01:00:07.902 --> 01:00:10.880
The jury did not agree.

1325
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:13.160
- We also should talk about whether

1326
01:00:13.160 --> 01:00:16.630
the defendants are taken into custody.

1327
01:00:16.630 --> 01:00:21.630
These are class B felonies
and they're from out of state.

1328
01:00:22.465 --> 01:00:24.700
- [Judge] So, are you requesting a change

1329
01:00:24.700 --> 01:00:26.076
in their bond conditions?

1330
01:00:26.076 --> 01:00:29.010
- It was our plan to ask if
there were felony convictions

1331
01:00:29.010 --> 01:00:30.820
that they be taken into custody.

1332
01:00:30.820 --> 01:00:32.768
So, I think that is our request.

1333
01:00:34.408 --> 01:00:36.210
- And then there was this moment

1334
01:00:36.210 --> 01:00:40.023
where nobody in the courtroom
was breathing, including me.

1335
01:00:41.060 --> 01:00:42.495
That went on forever.

1336
01:00:43.380 --> 01:00:44.607
And the judge said,

1337
01:00:44.607 --> 01:00:48.540
"Okay, we're gonna just continue as is."

1338
01:00:48.540 --> 01:00:52.010
So, we weren't put into
custody right away,

1339
01:00:52.010 --> 01:00:53.460
but we could have been.

1340
01:00:53.460 --> 01:00:58.455
And at that moment, I think I
felt just how much my control

1341
01:00:58.455 --> 01:01:02.016
of my life is now in the judges hands.

1342
01:01:12.720 --> 01:01:13.800
- Hey, mom.

1343
01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:15.500
So, I'm sitting on the couch

1344
01:01:15.500 --> 01:01:16.828
and I look outside the window,

1345
01:01:16.828 --> 01:01:18.117
and guess who I see?

1346
01:01:18.117 --> 01:01:19.316
Yeah, he's home.

1347
01:01:21.255 --> 01:01:22.810
How did you get home?

1348
01:01:22.810 --> 01:01:26.100
- We drove- - I took the bus
and then they picked me up.

1349
01:01:26.100 --> 01:01:27.510
They saw me walking.

1350
01:01:27.510 --> 01:01:29.087
- Mum was be there to pick you up.

1351
01:01:29.087 --> 01:01:30.172
And she freaked out,

1352
01:01:30.172 --> 01:01:32.301
'cause you didn't get
off any of the boats.

1353
01:01:32.301 --> 01:01:34.112
And you weren't on any of the docks.

1354
01:01:34.112 --> 01:01:36.052
- She wasn't there when I got there.

1355
01:01:36.052 --> 01:01:37.250
- She was there when you got there.

1356
01:01:37.250 --> 01:01:38.083
- Really?

1357
01:01:38.083 --> 01:01:38.916
- Yeah.

1358
01:01:38.916 --> 01:01:40.766
- Yep. She's pissed at me.

1359
01:01:46.500 --> 01:01:50.110
- Adonis, I need to talk to you.

1360
01:01:50.110 --> 01:01:50.943
- Okay.

1361
01:01:52.530 --> 01:01:53.605
- Come here.

1362
01:02:02.507 --> 01:02:05.018
If you don't know what's
going on, you call.

1363
01:02:05.018 --> 01:02:07.270
You don't just decide to get on a bus

1364
01:02:07.270 --> 01:02:10.140
and go somewhere when someone was planning

1365
01:02:10.140 --> 01:02:11.360
on picking you up.

1366
01:02:11.360 --> 01:02:12.764
And I just spent an hour

1367
01:02:12.764 --> 01:02:13.850
(soft piano)

1368
01:02:13.850 --> 01:02:17.025
on ferry dock, talking to 911.

1369
01:02:17.025 --> 01:02:19.060
And talking to the Vashon police

1370
01:02:19.060 --> 01:02:20.520
and talking to the people.

1371
01:02:20.520 --> 01:02:23.378
Going through all the video,
looking for you with...

1372
01:02:26.404 --> 01:02:28.348
- It wasn't my intention to do that.

1373
01:02:28.348 --> 01:02:29.620
- I know it wasn't your intention.

1374
01:02:29.620 --> 01:02:31.550
I need you to understand how it happened

1375
01:02:31.550 --> 01:02:32.637
and I need you to be like,

1376
01:02:32.637 --> 01:02:34.972
"I have a responsibility to communicate."

1377
01:02:34.972 --> 01:02:36.830
- I feel like you don't trust me.

1378
01:02:41.697 --> 01:02:44.195
- You're 12 years old.
I let you go places.

1379
01:02:44.195 --> 01:02:45.840
Obviously, I have trust in you.

1380
01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:48.810
I'm asking you to be
responsible and communicate.

1381
01:02:48.810 --> 01:02:50.210
We're gonna talk about this.

1382
01:02:56.422 --> 01:02:58.905
(water running)

1383
01:03:03.784 --> 01:03:04.617
Oh...

1384
01:03:09.418 --> 01:03:11.718
(Kids talking about music)

1385
01:03:12.917 --> 01:03:15.274
- There's so many other layers to it.

1386
01:03:15.274 --> 01:03:18.094
I'm like, especially with
their court cases and stuff

1387
01:03:18.094 --> 01:03:19.200
- Mm-hmm.

1388
01:03:19.200 --> 01:03:22.506
- Aji, has gotten death threats.

1389
01:03:22.506 --> 01:03:24.444
- This was the federal case, right?

1390
01:03:24.444 --> 01:03:26.728
Yeah. It's something
that I don't really...

1391
01:03:26.728 --> 01:03:28.855
Like, it doesn't sit on
my mind all the time.

1392
01:03:28.855 --> 01:03:30.895
But I think when something
like that happens,

1393
01:03:30.895 --> 01:03:33.252
where I don't know where
they are and stuff like that-

1394
01:03:33.252 --> 01:03:34.427
- You don't know.

1395
01:03:34.427 --> 01:03:36.880
- And then all the racism and
everything that's happening,

1396
01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:38.102
There's also that.

1397
01:03:38.102 --> 01:03:39.913
What if someone just decided

1398
01:03:39.913 --> 01:03:43.780
to take their crazy ideas
out on my kids? (sighs)

1399
01:03:43.780 --> 01:03:44.770
- Yeah.

1400
01:03:44.770 --> 01:03:47.530
- And, you know, it's just...

1401
01:03:47.530 --> 01:03:50.127
It's nerve wracking when they disappear.

1402
01:03:51.518 --> 01:03:54.101
(gentle music)

1403
01:03:56.745 --> 01:03:59.162
I have a marshmallow.

1404
01:04:05.791 --> 01:04:07.998
- Just break the charcoal part off.

1405
01:04:07.998 --> 01:04:09.873
- This will be too hot.

1406
01:04:09.873 --> 01:04:11.731
Don't grab right there.

1407
01:04:17.395 --> 01:04:20.317
- I hope my memory gets this forever.

1408
01:04:20.317 --> 01:04:22.725
This perfectly roasted marshmallow.

1409
01:04:23.764 --> 01:04:25.858
- I love you mama.

1410
01:04:25.858 --> 01:04:27.517

1415
01:04:36.014 --> 01:04:38.300
There were thousands of us
there, at flood wall street.

1416
01:04:38.300 --> 01:04:40.010
We were gonna shut wall street down,

1417
01:04:40.010 --> 01:04:43.310
because that is exactly what
fuels the fossil fuel industry.

1418
01:04:43.310 --> 01:04:44.760

1444
01:05:50.564 --> 01:05:51.924
The cops shut it off.

1445
01:05:51.924 --> 01:05:54.720
They had, what looked like
the SWAT team out there.

1446
01:05:54.720 --> 01:05:57.410
They had horses, there was almost...

1447

They fucking pepper sprayed me.

1463
01:07:13.053 --> 01:07:15.290
- The cops started coming
in with their buses

1464
01:07:15.290 --> 01:07:17.300
and it was just all intimidation.

1465
01:07:17.300 --> 01:07:19.770
They were just trying
to see who could leave

1466
01:07:19.770 --> 01:07:22.411

arrest them, but nobody left.

do a mix of strawberry-

1491

- Raspberry.

1492
01:08:37.649 --> 01:08:39.056

01:08:39.056 --> 01:08:40.160
- Let's do that.

1494
01:08:40.160 --> 01:08:42.132

1498
01:08:47.237 --> 01:08:50.310
- Mine are perfect.

1499
01:08:50.310 --> 01:08:51.735
(laughing)

1500
01:08:51.735 --> 01:08:53.524
- Of course they are.

1501
01:08:53.524 --> 01:08:54.357
- Okay

1502
01:08:55.499 --> 01:08:59.590
It is hard, because I know I'm privileged,

1503
01:08:59.590 --> 01:09:01.700
but it's hard when,

1504
01:09:01.700 --> 01:09:04.648
like, "Why is my dad late
to my birthday party?"

1505
01:09:04.648 --> 01:09:06.922
I don't really think about in the moment.

1506
01:09:06.922 --> 01:09:10.210
"Oh, it's because he's
helping solve some big issue."

1507
01:09:10.210 --> 01:09:13.060
That's not something that I
think about in the moment,

1508
01:09:13.060 --> 01:09:17.085
'cause I'm feeling emotional or whatever.

1509
01:09:17.085 --> 01:09:18.963
I want my dad on my birthday.

1510
01:09:18.963 --> 01:09:21.338
- Totally fair. Right? Of course she does.

1511
01:09:21.338 --> 01:09:23.700
I was hanging out with some activists

1512
01:09:23.700 --> 01:09:25.100
at a leadership retreat

1513
01:09:25.100 --> 01:09:27.630
and someone shared about the story

1514
01:09:27.630 --> 01:09:30.290
about their own experience with their son.

1515
01:09:30.290 --> 01:09:32.270
And realizing that the
son was, actually...

1516
01:09:32.270 --> 01:09:34.863
Had stopped expecting them to be there.

1517
01:09:35.703 --> 01:09:38.850
It's the last thing I want, is for Aziza,

1518
01:09:38.850 --> 01:09:42.373
to not even expect me to
be present in her life.

1519
01:09:43.587 --> 01:09:45.749
That's when I actually,
I made that commitment.

1520
01:09:45.749 --> 01:09:47.357
I came back from that and said,

1521
01:09:47.357 --> 01:09:49.650
"Aziza, I am going to make you breakfast

1522
01:09:49.650 --> 01:09:52.079
every morning before school."

1523
01:09:52.079 --> 01:09:52.912
- Yeah.

1524
01:09:52.912 --> 01:09:57.362
In the morning, I'm definitely
not the most awake person.

1525
01:09:57.362 --> 01:10:00.090
I'm not a morning person,
as much as I wish I was.

1526
01:10:00.090 --> 01:10:03.040
- But it certainly comes
to my mind of that,

1527
01:10:03.040 --> 01:10:06.280
depending upon how the future looks,

1528
01:10:06.280 --> 01:10:10.276
that she can think back on her dad

1529
01:10:10.276 --> 01:10:14.270
and know that I was doing what I could,

1530
01:10:14.270 --> 01:10:17.093
rather than ignoring it.

1531
01:10:18.621 --> 01:10:19.554
The crowd...

1532
01:10:19.554 --> 01:10:22.277
The crowd on the dock, they're chanting,

1533
01:10:22.277 --> 01:10:25.295
"Stop that boat, stop that boat".

1534
01:10:25.295 --> 01:10:26.685
It was like being at...

1535
01:10:26.685 --> 01:10:29.540
Like a Seahawks game or in a
championship, or something.

1536
01:10:29.540 --> 01:10:32.110
It was like a non-violent
riot on the water

1537
01:10:32.110 --> 01:10:34.430
with a crowd of hundreds
of people chanting.

1538
01:10:34.430 --> 01:10:37.840
And we look like a bunch of
David's, going after Goliath.

1539
01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:40.040
And it was freaking beautiful.

1540
01:10:40.040 --> 01:10:41.390
And so, fierce.

1541
01:10:41.390 --> 01:10:42.617
- [Aziza] Wow.

1542
01:10:42.617 --> 01:10:43.995
- It was amazing.

1543
01:10:45.418 --> 01:10:47.952
(Wind blowing)

1544
01:10:58.620 --> 01:11:00.758
It's the day before the sentencing.

1545
01:11:02.070 --> 01:11:05.610
The night before, 'cause it's
happening tomorrow morning

1546
01:11:05.610 --> 01:11:08.913
and I may or may not be
incarcerated tomorrow.

1547
01:11:10.480 --> 01:11:12.440
I could walk out of the court house

1548
01:11:12.440 --> 01:11:14.380
and I could be eating
lunch with everybody,

1549
01:11:14.380 --> 01:11:16.010
and go on about my way.

1550
01:11:16.010 --> 01:11:19.418
Or I could end up going into the system

1551
01:11:19.418 --> 01:11:21.791
and being in the jail or the prison.

1552
01:11:24.430 --> 01:11:26.850
I have, whether it's friendships

1553
01:11:26.850 --> 01:11:28.493
or family, or you name it.

1554
01:11:28.493 --> 01:11:31.018
I have stressed people out,

1555
01:11:31.884 --> 01:11:35.731
because I am not willing to just go along

1556
01:11:35.731 --> 01:11:38.563
and keep pulling the
trigger on this planet.

1557
01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:41.590
Most people need to look away from this,

1558
01:11:41.590 --> 01:11:43.380
as often as possible.

1559
01:11:43.380 --> 01:11:46.465
It's why we have such climate denial,

1560
01:11:46.465 --> 01:11:48.760
because it's a defense mechanism.

1561
01:11:48.760 --> 01:11:50.362
It's a coping mechanism,

1562
01:11:50.362 --> 01:11:52.280
so that people can get
on with their lives.

1563
01:11:52.280 --> 01:11:56.660
But when the legal system
is broken and it is broken.

1564
01:11:56.660 --> 01:12:01.100
When you can legally wipe
out all life on the planet,

1565
01:12:01.100 --> 01:12:04.610
through every business,
financial, mechanical,

1566
01:12:04.610 --> 01:12:09.253
technological thing we're
doing, it's all legal.

1567
01:12:09.253 --> 01:12:11.100
Everything we've done so far

1568
01:12:11.100 --> 01:12:14.117
to wipe out half of the
vertebrates on the planet,

1569
01:12:14.117 --> 01:12:16.953
since I was in first grade, is legal.

1570
01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:22.243
That's okay. Nobody goes to jail for that.

1571
01:12:23.270 --> 01:12:27.602
If you tried to stop that,
you gotta go to jail.

1572
01:12:27.602 --> 01:12:30.050
- [Court clerk] Ladies
and gentlemen please rise,

1573
01:12:30.050 --> 01:12:32.785
The Pembina County
court is now in session.

1574
01:12:32.785 --> 01:12:35.265

Fontaine is presiding.

1575
01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:39.270
- Thank you. You may be seated.

1576
01:12:43.732 --> 01:12:46.765
Pembina County district
court is now in session.

1577
01:12:48.999 --> 01:12:51.057
Is the state ready to proceed?

1578
01:12:51.057 --> 01:12:53.193
- [Lawyer] Yes, your honor, we are.

1579
01:12:53.193 --> 01:12:55.762
- Your honor, the defendants claim

1580
01:12:55.762 --> 01:12:57.910
Their actions were necessary,

1581
01:12:57.910 --> 01:13:00.668
because the traditional avenues

1582
01:13:00.668 --> 01:13:04.633
of citizen voice were
not effective for them.

1583
01:13:05.477 --> 01:13:06.910
They claim this failed,

1584
01:13:06.910 --> 01:13:09.552
because of the huge amount of money

1585
01:13:09.552 --> 01:13:13.733
that the fossil fuel industry
puts into the debate.

1586
01:13:14.928 --> 01:13:17.017
But is that it?

1587
01:13:17.017 --> 01:13:19.293
I think a lot of people were put off

1588
01:13:19.293 --> 01:13:23.858
by the moral superiority
that it takes to decide,

1589
01:13:23.858 --> 01:13:26.356
personally, that you can violate the law,

1590
01:13:26.356 --> 01:13:28.460
because your cause is righteous.

1591
01:13:28.460 --> 01:13:31.450
Because they can't achieve
things in the traditional way

1592
01:13:32.330 --> 01:13:35.980
that they are going to
choose to violate the law

1593
01:13:35.980 --> 01:13:39.430
in order to get the message out there.

1594
01:13:39.430 --> 01:13:44.073
And this is where it's
really leading to chaos.

1595
01:13:44.073 --> 01:13:47.750
This is not the way we do things
in North Dakota, at least.

1596
01:13:47.750 --> 01:13:48.733
Thank you.

1597
01:13:50.320 --> 01:13:52.310
- This time, Mr. Foster, I would ask you

1598
01:13:52.310 --> 01:13:54.669
if you have any statements you would like

1599
01:13:54.669 --> 01:13:58.134
to make to the court before
court impose a sentence.

1600
01:13:58.134 --> 01:13:59.610
- Yes, your honor.

1601
01:13:59.610 --> 01:14:01.512
I would like to say something.

1602
01:14:01.512 --> 01:14:06.180
(somber piano) In the first
White House report on climate,

1603
01:14:06.180 --> 01:14:11.180
it said that humans have
altered the chemical composition

1604
01:14:11.188 --> 01:14:14.727
of the atmosphere through
the burning of fossil fuels,

1605
01:14:14.727 --> 01:14:18.137
putting civilization at risk.

1606
01:14:18.137 --> 01:14:20.800
That report was issued by the White House,

1607
01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:23.762
under Lyndon Baines Johnson.

1608
01:14:23.762 --> 01:14:26.550
And it's right there in the constitution

1609
01:14:26.550 --> 01:14:31.550
that young people, young
citizens have a right to life.

1610
01:14:32.200 --> 01:14:37.173
And what we are doing is a
slow bullet to their head,

1611
01:14:37.173 --> 01:14:39.303
30 years down the road.

1612
01:14:40.272 --> 01:14:42.710
We have passed the point of emergency.

1613
01:14:42.710 --> 01:14:47.033
That energy infrastructure is the gun.

1614
01:14:48.110 --> 01:14:51.165
The bullet is the product inside it

1615
01:14:51.165 --> 01:14:53.460
and somebody's pulling the trigger.

1616
01:14:53.460 --> 01:14:55.553
And somebody is getting paid to do that.

1617
01:14:55.553 --> 01:14:58.360
And somebody's making
a lot of money on that.

1618
01:14:58.360 --> 01:15:01.310
And if the law continues to prefer

1619
01:15:01.310 --> 01:15:05.617
the rights of the people
who own that property

1620
01:15:05.617 --> 01:15:09.488
and their rights to protect
their infrastructure,

1621
01:15:09.488 --> 01:15:11.570
that is poisoning the rest of us.

1622
01:15:11.570 --> 01:15:14.530
Poisoning themselves,
poisoning their own kids.

1623
01:15:14.530 --> 01:15:17.980
And, as long as we keep using
the product coming through it,

1624
01:15:19.372 --> 01:15:23.513
our rights to life and
Liberty are in danger.

1625
01:15:25.730 --> 01:15:26.705
Thank you.

1626
01:15:31.490 --> 01:15:35.552
- Trans Canada, wrote a letter,

1627
01:15:35.552 --> 01:15:39.060
asking for significant
prison time for Mr. Foster.

1628
01:15:39.060 --> 01:15:41.818
They are concerned that
other people will try

1629
01:15:41.818 --> 01:15:46.818
and tamper with their lines
or other people's pipelines.

1630
01:15:48.033 --> 01:15:51.960
This is the most troubling
for me with you, Mr. Foster,

1631
01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:56.960
because everything about you tells me...

1632
01:15:59.370 --> 01:16:02.078
And everything you've said to me

1633
01:16:02.078 --> 01:16:04.417
is this was the right thing to do.

1634
01:16:04.417 --> 01:16:06.630
This is what I'm called to do

1635
01:16:07.983 --> 01:16:10.504
and you have not expressed any remorse

1636
01:16:10.504 --> 01:16:13.565
or any regret at ever, any time at all.

1637
01:16:14.478 --> 01:16:16.855
Court sentence's you to three years

1638
01:16:16.855 --> 01:16:19.420
at the North Dakota
department of corrections.

1639
01:16:19.420 --> 01:16:23.000
After serving one year,
the balance is suspended

1640
01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:26.508
on the condition you be placed
on supervised probation.

1641
01:16:27.406 --> 01:16:29.239
Thank you.

1642
01:16:29.239 --> 01:16:31.572
(murmuring in the courtroom)

1643
01:16:32.612 --> 01:16:34.646
(somber music)

1644
01:16:59.750 --> 01:17:02.170
- When I get home and he's not there,

1645
01:17:02.170 --> 01:17:04.001
it's gonna be really hard.

1646
01:17:05.262 --> 01:17:07.270
But they painted a picture of him,

1647
01:17:07.270 --> 01:17:12.053
as this crazy, zealot person
who loves all the attention.

1648
01:17:13.317 --> 01:17:16.600
He's just wants to figure out any way

1649
01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:18.980
that he can possibly use his life

1650
01:17:18.980 --> 01:17:21.870
to prevent what's gonna be happening,

1651
01:17:21.870 --> 01:17:25.885
if we just all keep doing
what we're doing every day.

1652
01:17:28.260 --> 01:17:30.530
Now, it's just a long
distance relationship.

1653
01:17:30.530 --> 01:17:32.042
And I'm really grateful

1654
01:17:32.042 --> 01:17:35.520
that the judge didn't
give him the 21 years.

1655
01:17:35.520 --> 01:17:37.437
It's one day at a time.

1656
01:17:38.769 --> 01:17:43.761
And we laugh and he makes
the hard parts of the world

1657
01:17:45.705 --> 01:17:47.842
a little bit easier.

1658
01:17:47.842 --> 01:17:50.838
So yes. I'm gonna miss him.

1659
01:17:55.582 --> 01:17:56.890
- [Jamie] Cup Monster.

1660
01:17:56.890 --> 01:17:58.834
- [Adonis] Are those all actual cups?

1661
01:17:58.834 --> 01:18:00.493
[Aji] Is it a shopping cart?

1662
01:18:00.493 --> 01:18:02.765
- [Jamie] It's beautiful.
Oh, my God, it's masterpiece.

1663
01:18:02.765 --> 01:18:05.015
- [Adonis] Can I get inside of it?

1664
01:18:06.794 --> 01:18:09.175
- It definitely does smell like coffee.

1665
01:18:09.175 --> 01:18:11.900
Ugh... Why am I participating like this?

1666
01:18:11.900 --> 01:18:13.508
(Jamie laughs)

1667
01:18:15.078 --> 01:18:17.338
- I pretty much dedicated my life

1668
01:18:17.338 --> 01:18:19.757
to fighting climate change.

1669
01:18:19.757 --> 01:18:21.097
You can go around.

1670
01:18:21.097 --> 01:18:22.898
You can go hang out with your friends

1671
01:18:22.898 --> 01:18:24.147
and you can do nothing.

1672
01:18:24.147 --> 01:18:25.647
And you can be unaware.

1673
01:18:25.647 --> 01:18:27.930
You can play video games,
you can read books and...

1674
01:18:27.930 --> 01:18:29.525
But at the end of the day,

1675
01:18:29.525 --> 01:18:32.628
you still know that
climate change is going on

1676
01:18:32.628 --> 01:18:34.200
and it's still there.

1677
01:18:34.200 --> 01:18:35.320
It's not gone.

1678
01:18:35.320 --> 01:18:37.925
You can't just ignore it
and have it disappear.

1679
01:18:37.925 --> 01:18:41.553
It's not like when you're
like five years old

1680
01:18:41.553 --> 01:18:43.620
and you think that, because
you cover your eyes,

1681
01:18:43.620 --> 01:18:44.818
you're hiding.

1682
01:18:44.818 --> 01:18:46.730
Because, oh, I can't see
you, so you can't see me.

1683
01:18:46.730 --> 01:18:47.830
It's not like that.

1684
01:18:47.830 --> 01:18:49.550
Just because you ignore a problem,

1685
01:18:49.550 --> 01:18:51.560
doesn't mean it goes away.

1686
01:18:51.560 --> 01:18:54.740
It's just like I have to keep fighting,

1687
01:18:54.740 --> 01:18:56.350
because it's still there.

1688
01:18:56.350 --> 01:18:57.850
It's not gone yet.

1689
01:18:58.824 --> 01:19:00.913
I've become one with the cup.

1690
01:19:02.715 --> 01:19:04.690
Look, I'm in camouflage.

1691
01:19:04.690 --> 01:19:06.706
This is my recon operation.

1692
01:19:08.200 --> 01:19:11.010
The reason there's a big prop monster,

1693
01:19:11.010 --> 01:19:12.190
made from Starbucks cups,

1694
01:19:12.190 --> 01:19:15.180
is because the lining of
every single Starbucks cup

1695
01:19:15.180 --> 01:19:18.960
is not recyclable and not
compostable, even industrially.

1696
01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:21.660
It's really just that 4
billion Starbucks cups

1697
01:19:21.660 --> 01:19:24.010
are thrown into the trash every year.

1698
01:19:24.010 --> 01:19:25.337
So, it's just like,

1699
01:19:25.337 --> 01:19:27.290
"Hey, change the lining and we'll be done.

1700
01:19:27.290 --> 01:19:29.359
You won't have to deal with us ever.

1701
01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:31.662
And we won't have to stand in weird suits.

1702
01:19:31.662 --> 01:19:33.890
Build a better cup. Just keeps saying it.

1703
01:19:33.890 --> 01:19:36.723
♪ In the West Seattle winter

1704
01:19:36.723 --> 01:19:40.863

1707

Reduce, reuse, recycle and a broken--

1708
01:19:46.225 --> 01:19:47.784
(laughing)

1709
01:19:49.920 --> 01:19:51.620
- Members of the jury.

1710
01:19:54.897 --> 01:19:58.838
Sometimes people have to take a stand.

1711
01:19:58.838 --> 01:20:01.870
Sometimes people do things out of a sense

1712
01:20:01.870 --> 01:20:04.402
of inner justice and commitment.

1713
01:20:04.402 --> 01:20:06.620
(soft music) These five defendants

1714
01:20:06.620 --> 01:20:08.060
are people like that.

1715
01:20:08.060 --> 01:20:10.310
And of course, my client.

1716
01:20:10.310 --> 01:20:13.763
Abby's a interesting person.

1717
01:20:13.763 --> 01:20:16.415
She could sit on top of that tripod,

1718
01:20:16.415 --> 01:20:18.500
dangling in the air 20 feet,

1719
01:20:18.500 --> 01:20:21.460
which would scare most
of us out of our wits.

1720
01:20:21.460 --> 01:20:25.490
And yet when she gets into a
witness chair, she's nervous.

1721
01:20:25.490 --> 01:20:29.453
The chair that's firmly fixed
to the floor. She's nervous.

1722
01:20:32.170 --> 01:20:35.212
She was influenced by a derailment,

1723
01:20:35.212 --> 01:20:37.430
not too far from her child's school.

1724
01:20:37.430 --> 01:20:40.595
That inspired her that
something more needs to be done

1725
01:20:40.595 --> 01:20:42.138
than writing letters.

1726
01:20:42.138 --> 01:20:44.480
Appearing before legislatures.

1727
01:20:44.480 --> 01:20:46.933
Doing things that just don't work.

1728
01:20:47.870 --> 01:20:51.570
That don't get the attention
that an arrest does.

1729
01:20:51.570 --> 01:20:54.547
Being arrested, isn't a crime, by the way,

1730
01:20:54.547 --> 01:20:57.963
it's for you to decide if
a crime has been committed.

1731
01:20:58.940 --> 01:21:03.268
You the jury can speak out, not guilty,

1732
01:21:03.268 --> 01:21:08.252
sends a message that
this protest was lawful.

1733
01:21:08.252 --> 01:21:11.300
That the powers that
be should take notice.

1734
01:21:11.300 --> 01:21:15.315
And that these defendants
are not guilty of a crime.

1735
01:21:15.315 --> 01:21:16.148
Thank you.

1736
01:21:18.347 --> 01:21:19.917
(Uplifting music)

1737
01:21:19.917 --> 01:21:22.075
- Did you have any good dreams last night?

1738
01:21:22.075 --> 01:21:22.995
- Yeah.

1739
01:21:22.995 --> 01:21:24.386
- What did you dream about?

1740
01:21:24.386 --> 01:21:27.030
- I dreamed about the stars and the moon.

1741
01:21:28.124 --> 01:21:30.293
The stars and the moon, mama.

1742
01:21:30.293 --> 01:21:31.640
- That's so sweet.

1743
01:21:31.640 --> 01:21:34.411
Okay. Lets say goodbye.

1744
01:21:34.411 --> 01:21:36.068
- Goodbye mama!

1745
01:21:36.068 --> 01:21:37.360
- [Bill] I love you.

1746
01:21:37.360 --> 01:21:39.610
- I'm not afraid of the future.

1747
01:21:39.610 --> 01:21:43.187
I know that it'll be different
and I know that it...

1748
01:21:43.187 --> 01:21:45.137
The climate is going to change

1749
01:21:45.137 --> 01:21:48.210
and the world is going to change and

1750
01:21:48.210 --> 01:21:50.388
I am not afraid of change.

1751
01:21:50.388 --> 01:21:53.990
I think change is good.
Not all change is good.

1752
01:21:53.990 --> 01:21:55.014
But-

1753
01:21:55.014 --> 01:21:56.130
(laughing)

1754
01:21:56.130 --> 01:21:58.670
Change is, generally, has to happen.

1755
01:21:58.670 --> 01:22:01.510
And I don't want to live in fear of that.

1756
01:22:01.510 --> 01:22:03.163
- Change is inevitable.

1757
01:22:03.163 --> 01:22:06.040
Change is inevitable, but
how much are we gonna be

1758
01:22:06.040 --> 01:22:09.110
the authors of that change
or the victims of it?

1759
01:22:09.110 --> 01:22:14.110
- Sometimes I wish I could
understand how you can talk

1760
01:22:15.055 --> 01:22:17.255
for hours on end about these things.

1761
01:22:17.255 --> 01:22:20.580
I think that just being the
kind of person my dad is,

1762
01:22:20.580 --> 01:22:22.099
it's so much...

1763
01:22:22.099 --> 01:22:25.640
I don't know about other people
who do this kind of work,

1764
01:22:25.640 --> 01:22:27.100
but I was sitting on the couch

1765
01:22:27.100 --> 01:22:28.880
and it was 12 o'clock last night.

1766
01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:31.780
And I was super tired
and I couldn't have cared

1767
01:22:31.780 --> 01:22:33.590
a little bit about what he was saying,

1768
01:22:33.590 --> 01:22:35.308
but he was going on and on.

1769
01:22:35.308 --> 01:22:37.800
He's like, "No, Aziza,
there's something really cool

1770
01:22:37.800 --> 01:22:39.580
is happening, some thing really cool."

1771
01:22:39.580 --> 01:22:41.817
And he just kept on
talking and I was like,

1772
01:22:41.817 --> 01:22:44.226
"Dad, I can't listen to this right now."

1773
01:22:45.576 --> 01:22:48.159
(Playful music)

1774
01:22:58.200 --> 01:22:59.570
I can't imagine that...

1775
01:22:59.570 --> 01:23:02.957
Without his passion and his ability to,

1776
01:23:02.957 --> 01:23:05.610
"No, we're gonna do this.
We're gonna beat them."

1777
01:23:05.610 --> 01:23:08.720
I feel like a lot of people
would have just given up

1778
01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:10.830
and I don't think that the victories,

1779
01:23:10.830 --> 01:23:13.490
would have been reached
without that kind of emotion

1780
01:23:13.490 --> 01:23:15.890
and passion for what he's doing.

1781
01:23:15.890 --> 01:23:18.600
I can't imagine having
that much persistence.

1782
01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:22.017
That's just, it's really inspiring to me.

1783
01:23:24.009 --> 01:23:26.041
- I'm not crying.

1784
01:23:26.041 --> 01:23:28.149
(laughing)

1785
01:23:29.610 --> 01:23:32.740
God, am I a lucky guy or what? Right?

1786
01:23:32.740 --> 01:23:35.596
So, thank you.

1787
01:23:35.596 --> 01:23:36.687
- Yeah.

1788
01:23:36.687 --> 01:23:40.080
- So, I think, Aziza, said it best,

1789
01:23:40.080 --> 01:23:43.423
You know, it's like,
winning is way more fun.

1790
01:23:44.452 --> 01:23:46.590
Way more fun.

1791
01:23:46.590 --> 01:23:49.178
And it's also, I think, honestly,

1792
01:23:50.973 --> 01:23:53.273
essential to win.

1793
01:23:53.273 --> 01:23:55.940
(siren wailing)

1794
01:23:56.850 --> 01:23:59.788
- The train tracks were shut down.

1795
01:24:00.970 --> 01:24:03.713
Like 30 to 45 people were arrested.

1796
01:24:04.860 --> 01:24:06.718
The police were in riot gear.

1797
01:24:07.690 --> 01:24:09.930
And they're not forceful,

1798
01:24:09.930 --> 01:24:12.895
but they're still walking
around in riot gear and stuff.

1799
01:24:12.895 --> 01:24:14.362

they're necessities to life, end of story.

You cannot deny anybody
that, because that is murder.

1814
01:24:51.075 --> 01:24:52.789
But we don't protect that.

1815
01:24:52.789 --> 01:24:55.260
Those are three things
that are not protected.

1816
01:24:55.260 --> 01:24:57.570
Yeah, I mean, they call
it climate anxiety,

1817
01:24:57.570 --> 01:24:59.820
the phenomenon of younger generations,

1818
01:24:59.820 --> 01:25:01.965
becoming just extremely anxious

1819
01:25:01.965 --> 01:25:04.098
and depressed about climate change

1820
01:25:04.098 --> 01:25:05.830
and the state of their future.

1821
01:25:05.830 --> 01:25:08.220
Sometimes my songs are
just, that's my response.

1822
01:25:08.220 --> 01:25:10.780
And sometimes, yeah, sometimes I do get,

1823
01:25:10.780 --> 01:25:13.841
like this feeling of, "This
shit's so fucking pointless

1824
01:25:13.841 --> 01:25:17.619

dealing with depression, insomnia.

1830
01:25:28.687 --> 01:25:31.010
Really not being able
to go to sleep at night

1831
01:25:31.010 --> 01:25:32.864
and being totally wide

1832
01:25:32.864 --> 01:25:35.947

The great march for climate action,

1842
01:26:09.280 --> 01:26:12.162
they talked about having
a thousand marchers,

1843
01:26:12.162 --> 01:26:14.621
but I expected more than 35.

1844
01:26:15.510 --> 01:26:17.810
We like to think we had a great impact

1845
01:26:17.810 --> 01:26:20.040
on those we encountered
and those we touched,

1846
01:26:20.040 --> 01:26:23.670
those we spoke to, those
who just saw us walk by.

1847
01:26:23.670 --> 01:26:27.010
I think, however, the
greatest impact we have had

1848
01:26:27.010 --> 01:26:29.299
is on ourselves.

1849
01:26:29.299 --> 01:26:31.541
(crowd cheering)

1850
01:26:33.392 --> 01:26:35.543
- [Crowd] Miriam. Miriam. Miriam.

1851
01:26:36.470 --> 01:26:40.759
- I would like you to all say, we made it.

1852
01:26:40.759 --> 01:26:43.105
- [crowd] We made it.

1853
01:26:43.105 --> 01:26:45.202
(crowd cheering)

1854
01:26:45.202 --> 01:26:46.622
- One more time.

1855
01:26:46.622 --> 01:26:48.530
- [Crowd] We made it.

1856
01:26:48.530 --> 01:26:50.091
(crowd cheering)

1857
01:26:50.091 --> 01:26:52.269
- The March has definitely changed me,

1858
01:26:52.269 --> 01:26:54.135
making me a little more radical.

1859
01:26:54.135 --> 01:26:56.444
Or, actually, a lot more
radical than I was before.

1860
01:26:56.444 --> 01:26:58.632
And we can't really just sit
around and have meetings,

1861
01:26:58.632 --> 01:27:01.712
and talk anymore, direct
action needs to happen.

1862
01:27:01.712 --> 01:27:03.228
(soft music)

1863
01:27:03.228 --> 01:27:05.147
I don't wanna be just some crazy guy

1864
01:27:05.147 --> 01:27:07.092
that gets arrested every so often.

1865
01:27:07.092 --> 01:27:08.643
In the eyes of my family,

1866
01:27:08.643 --> 01:27:11.222
I want them to be proud of me, of course.

1867
01:27:11.222 --> 01:27:14.108
I'm doing this for them. I'm
doing this for everybody.

1868
01:27:14.108 --> 01:27:15.886
And we're all in it together.

1869
01:27:15.886 --> 01:27:17.570
It's about everybody joining together,

1870
01:27:17.570 --> 01:27:19.463
fighting for what they believe in.

1871
01:27:19.463 --> 01:27:23.029
I've tried talking to my dad
about his situation in Mexico,

1872
01:27:23.029 --> 01:27:25.060
before he came to the United States.

1873
01:27:25.060 --> 01:27:26.930
I know it wasn't easy for them.

1874
01:27:26.930 --> 01:27:29.752
So, when I described
to them what I'm doing,

1875
01:27:29.752 --> 01:27:31.769
I think my parents are worried.

1876
01:27:31.769 --> 01:27:35.272
My parents are worried about,
of course me getting arrested.

1877
01:27:35.272 --> 01:27:38.450
They're worried about what
this looks like for my future.

1878
01:27:38.450 --> 01:27:40.553
I mean, I love them for the fact that

1879
01:27:40.553 --> 01:27:42.962
they're worried about
it, but they continue...

1880
01:27:42.962 --> 01:27:44.388
Every time I call them,

1881
01:27:44.388 --> 01:27:46.321
they continue to say, "I love you."

1882
01:27:46.321 --> 01:27:48.447
Thank you for what you're doing.

1883
01:27:48.447 --> 01:27:50.240
It's incredible to me.

1884
01:27:50.240 --> 01:27:54.480
My family loves me
unconditionally. No matter what.

1885
01:27:54.480 --> 01:27:57.620
- [Crowd chanting] Shut FERC down.

1886
01:27:57.620 --> 01:28:02.030
Shut FERC down. Shut FERC
down. Shut FERC down.

1887
01:28:02.030 --> 01:28:03.370
- After the march.

1888
01:28:03.370 --> 01:28:06.395
I know I'm ready to do
more than just march.

1889
01:28:06.395 --> 01:28:08.339
- What is that actually doing?

1890
01:28:08.339 --> 01:28:09.943
When every single day,

1891
01:28:09.943 --> 01:28:12.230
the amount of devastation to the earth

1892
01:28:12.230 --> 01:28:14.380
is just on such a massive scale.

1893
01:28:14.380 --> 01:28:17.087
So, we're doing a week
of direct actions there.

1894
01:28:17.087 --> 01:28:20.145
The Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission at FERC.

1895
01:28:20.145 --> 01:28:23.740
FERC is a federal agency
that is not taxpayer funded,

1896
01:28:23.740 --> 01:28:25.710
but funded by oil and gas.

1897
01:28:25.710 --> 01:28:28.965
The industry makes the decisions
on which projects they want

1898
01:28:28.965 --> 01:28:31.587
to make their profit and
extract their resources.

1899
01:28:31.587 --> 01:28:34.200
They apply for a permit for
the FERC, it's approved.

1900
01:28:34.200 --> 01:28:36.038
And then they build the project,

1901
01:28:36.038 --> 01:28:37.658
straight through our backyard.

1902
01:28:37.658 --> 01:28:39.283
- Hey link arms, link arms.

1903
01:28:39.283 --> 01:28:40.994
- Lock 'em up. Lock 'em up.

1904
01:28:40.994 --> 01:28:43.970
- We need a block over here,
we need a block over here.

1905
01:28:43.970 --> 01:28:45.904
- Shut FERC down.

1906
01:28:45.904 --> 01:28:47.573
- [Crowd] Shut FERC down.

1907
01:28:47.573 --> 01:28:52.291
Shut FERC down. Shut FERC
down. Shut FERC down.

1908
01:28:52.291 --> 01:28:56.500
- FERC destroys families.
FERC destroys towns.

1909
01:28:56.500 --> 01:28:59.952
FERC destroys families.
FERC destroys towns.

1910
01:28:59.952 --> 01:29:02.419
- Your illegally blocking this entrance.

1911
01:29:02.419 --> 01:29:05.795
We're gonna give you five
minutes to clear this entrance

1912
01:29:05.795 --> 01:29:07.549
or you will be arrested.

1913
01:29:07.549 --> 01:29:10.801
FERC destroys towns. Shut FERC down.

1914
01:29:10.801 --> 01:29:12.140
Shut FERC down.

1915
01:29:12.140 --> 01:29:15.323
FERC destroys families.
FERC destroys towns.

1916
01:29:15.323 --> 01:29:17.800
- First the cops opened up the barricade

1917
01:29:17.800 --> 01:29:20.270
to let people in to the FERC building.

1918
01:29:20.270 --> 01:29:21.873
We blockaded that.

1919
01:29:21.873 --> 01:29:24.564
(Michael yells)

1920
01:29:25.470 --> 01:29:29.115
- [Crowd] FERC hurt
families. FERC hurts towns.

1921
01:29:29.115 --> 01:29:31.757
Shut FERC down.

1922
01:29:31.757 --> 01:29:33.805
Shut FERC down.

1923
01:29:33.805 --> 01:29:36.572
- We are the people, you can't ignore us.

1924
01:29:36.572 --> 01:29:39.681
We will not let you FERC this planet

1925
01:29:39.681 --> 01:29:42.363
- Disperse now or you will be arrested.

1926
01:29:42.363 --> 01:29:45.061
Disperse now or you will be arrested.

1927
01:29:45.061 --> 01:29:47.978
(Circular saw whirring)

1928
01:29:50.792 --> 01:29:52.991
(Stirring music)

1929
01:30:06.858 --> 01:30:08.820
- [Crowd] Shut FERC down.

1930
01:30:08.820 --> 01:30:11.322
Shut FERC down. Shut FERC
down. Shut FERC down.

1931
01:30:11.322 --> 01:30:13.810
Shut FERC down. Shut FERC
down. Shut FERC down.

1932
01:30:13.810 --> 01:30:15.876
- Back up, back up, back up.

1933
01:30:20.452 --> 01:30:23.659
- FERC destroys families.
FERC destroys towns.

1934
01:30:23.659 --> 01:30:26.709
FERC destroys families.
FERC destroys towns.

1935
01:30:26.709 --> 01:30:29.392
FERC destroys families.
FERC destroys towns.

1936
01:30:31.942 --> 01:30:35.217
(Music of choir voices)

1937
01:30:37.166 --> 01:30:39.891
(Engine noise of circular saw)

1938
01:30:40.749 --> 01:30:43.948
(Noise of circular saw cutting metal)

1939
01:30:47.855 --> 01:30:50.755
- Hey, hey, back up!

1940
01:30:53.539 --> 01:30:56.753
- Shut FERC down. Shut FERC down.

1941
01:30:56.753 --> 01:30:59.896
Shut FERC down. Shut FERC down.

1942
01:30:59.896 --> 01:31:03.643
Shut FERC down. Shut FERC down.

1943
01:31:03.643 --> 01:31:06.101
(crowd cheering)

1944
01:31:09.051 --> 01:31:11.334
(crowd clapping)

1945
01:31:13.296 --> 01:31:17.851
- [crowd] The people united
will never be defeated.

1946
01:31:17.851 --> 01:31:21.435
[crowd] The people united
will never be defeated.

1947
01:31:21.435 --> 01:31:25.068
[crowd] The people united
will never be defeated.

1948
01:31:31.660 --> 01:31:33.660
- If the question before the jury

1949
01:31:33.660 --> 01:31:37.193
was to be whether climate change is real,

1950
01:31:39.758 --> 01:31:42.478
I would let them answer that question.

1951
01:31:42.478 --> 01:31:44.410
If the jury, which is to decide,

1952
01:31:44.410 --> 01:31:47.260
whether Burlington Northern Santa Fe

1953
01:31:47.260 --> 01:31:50.100
is being a responsible corporation

1954
01:31:50.100 --> 01:31:52.910
in protecting all of us
from their trains of oil,

1955
01:31:52.910 --> 01:31:54.820
going through our communities,

1956
01:31:54.820 --> 01:31:57.520
I would let the jury answer that question.

1957
01:31:57.520 --> 01:32:02.363
Quite frankly, these defendants
are tireless advocates,

1958
01:32:03.290 --> 01:32:05.430
who we need in this society

1959
01:32:06.300 --> 01:32:08.960
to prevent the kind of
catastrophic effects

1960
01:32:08.960 --> 01:32:10.710
that we see coming.

1961
01:32:10.710 --> 01:32:15.383
And that our politicians are
ineffectually addressing.

1962
01:32:16.490 --> 01:32:19.730
But the law requires
that the defendants here,

1963
01:32:19.730 --> 01:32:22.593
present sufficient evidence to a jury,

1964
01:32:23.670 --> 01:32:26.280
that there is no legal alternative

1965
01:32:26.280 --> 01:32:30.253
to this particular act
of civil disobedience.

1966
01:32:32.595 --> 01:32:34.500
The court will read the jury verdicts

1967
01:32:34.500 --> 01:32:37.287
into the record at this time.

1968
01:32:37.287 --> 01:32:39.660
The first verdicts to
be read will be those

1969
01:32:39.660 --> 01:32:41.470
for Miss Abigail Brockway.

1970
01:32:41.470 --> 01:32:44.977
If you could please rise
ma'am, with counsel.

1971
01:32:44.977 --> 01:32:47.041
In case number 5035A14D,

1972
01:32:47.041 --> 01:32:49.554
the jury verdict form reads as follows,

1973
01:32:49.554 --> 01:32:52.892
"State of Washington, plaintiff
Abigail Brockway defendant.

1974
01:32:52.892 --> 01:32:55.100
We, the jury find the
defendant, Abigail Brockway,

1975
01:32:55.100 --> 01:32:58.673
not guilty of the crime of
obstructing or delaying a train.

1976
01:33:00.010 --> 01:33:01.310
We, the jury find the defendant,

1977
01:33:01.310 --> 01:33:04.310
Abigail Brockway, guilty
of the crime of trespass

1978
01:33:04.310 --> 01:33:06.124
in the second degree."

1979
01:33:07.120 --> 01:33:09.533
Thank you. Please be seated.

1980
01:33:09.533 --> 01:33:12.112
Each defendant will be
sentenced as follows,

1981
01:33:12.112 --> 01:33:13.827
(soft music) 90 days in jail

1982
01:33:13.827 --> 01:33:15.860
with 89 suspended leaving one day

1983
01:33:15.860 --> 01:33:18.010
to serve with credit for that one day.

1984
01:33:18.010 --> 01:33:21.250
You are not to commit
any new crimes during

1985
01:33:21.250 --> 01:33:23.022
the probation period.

1986
01:33:23.022 --> 01:33:26.329
You are not to have any
contact with BNSF property-

1987
01:33:28.251 --> 01:33:30.684
(Courtroom laughter)

1988
01:33:33.060 --> 01:33:35.080
And that is it.

1989
01:33:35.080 --> 01:33:36.572
Court will be in recess.

1990
01:33:38.050 --> 01:33:42.042
- All rise. (applauding)

1991
01:33:45.490 --> 01:33:48.180
- Aji, do you feel like
you're doing too much?

1992
01:33:48.180 --> 01:33:50.750
Sometimes you get overloaded

1993
01:33:50.750 --> 01:33:54.550
and you're thinking
about really huge things.

1994
01:33:54.550 --> 01:33:57.010
- Naw, it's a small thing.

1995
01:33:57.010 --> 01:33:58.990
- What's a small thing?

1996
01:33:58.990 --> 01:34:01.515
- The idiocy of the human race.

1997
01:34:03.372 --> 01:34:06.330
I'm fighting for my rights
with the government.

1998
01:34:06.330 --> 01:34:09.690
I'm fighting for people to
protect their own lives,

1999
01:34:09.690 --> 01:34:11.266
the lives of their children,

2000
01:34:11.266 --> 01:34:14.290
the lives of their neighbors and my life.

2001
01:34:14.290 --> 01:34:16.680
That's not something that
you should have to do

2002
01:34:16.680 --> 01:34:18.310
like the fuck.

2003
01:34:18.310 --> 01:34:19.823
At 17 years old.

2004
01:34:20.660 --> 01:34:23.650
It feels like there's like
an ever approaching deadline

2005
01:34:23.650 --> 01:34:25.210
for climate change.

2006
01:34:25.210 --> 01:34:27.150
And so, I think that's the problem

2007
01:34:27.150 --> 01:34:29.582
I'm feeling the weight of
the world kind of thing.

2008
01:34:29.582 --> 01:34:30.886
And that's where the

2009
01:34:30.886 --> 01:34:34.980
A lot of, probably the
insomnia comes from.

2010
01:34:34.980 --> 01:34:37.512
Is feeling the weight of the world.

2011
01:34:37.512 --> 01:34:39.625
- No, Aji, how do we find space

2012
01:34:39.625 --> 01:34:41.525
where you get to take a break?

2013
01:34:41.525 --> 01:34:44.553
- I don't think there's a,
we, in this conversation,

2014
01:34:44.553 --> 01:34:46.828
we don't find space
for me to take a break.

2015
01:34:46.828 --> 01:34:48.001
- You do?

2016
01:34:48.001 --> 01:34:50.590
But what help do you need?

2017
01:34:50.590 --> 01:34:53.449
'Cause I can see that it's bothering you.

2018
01:35:01.780 --> 01:35:04.813
- Yeah, he dead.

2019
01:35:08.350 --> 01:35:09.391
- I'm sorry.

2020
01:35:11.083 --> 01:35:12.820
- Yeah, he dead.

2021
01:35:12.820 --> 01:35:13.855
(Gentle piano)

2022
01:35:13.855 --> 01:35:15.770
- And I'm so just like distraught.

2023
01:35:15.770 --> 01:35:18.722
And I'm what is gonna convince people

2024
01:35:18.722 --> 01:35:20.510
to do anything about this?

2025
01:35:20.510 --> 01:35:23.632
It feels like nothing is
getting anywhere with anyone,

2026
01:35:23.632 --> 01:35:26.077
we're gonna crash no matter what.

2027
01:35:26.077 --> 01:35:27.951
It's inevitable.

2028
01:35:27.951 --> 01:35:31.270
But do you want to just
accelerate to 90. Boom.

2029
01:35:31.270 --> 01:35:33.890
Hit that wall and Baaa! I'm done with it?

2030
01:35:33.890 --> 01:35:36.326
Or do you want to like,
try and drop it down

2031
01:35:36.326 --> 01:35:39.020
to like 15 miles an hour
and ram into the wall,

2032
01:35:39.020 --> 01:35:40.153
just a little bit.

2033
01:35:40.153 --> 01:35:43.157
Maybe, you crash your car and
bang yourself up a little bit,

2034
01:35:43.157 --> 01:35:44.413
but you're safe.

2035
01:35:44.413 --> 01:35:46.066
And when people were like,

2036
01:35:46.066 --> 01:35:47.878
"I'm waiting for somebody else."

2037
01:35:47.878 --> 01:35:49.807
I'm like, "No, you're being lazy."

2038
01:35:49.807 --> 01:35:51.670
And you're being indecisive.

2039
01:35:51.670 --> 01:35:54.180
And you're refusing to
look at a big problem

2040
01:35:54.180 --> 01:35:56.017
and face it at point blank range,

2041
01:35:56.017 --> 01:35:57.885
and actually take it seriously.

2042
01:35:57.885 --> 01:36:00.190
- We have to find a
way to give you a break

2043
01:36:00.190 --> 01:36:01.687
and to take care of you.

2044
01:36:01.687 --> 01:36:03.231
You can't just keep on going

2045
01:36:03.231 --> 01:36:05.263
feeling more and more frustrated.

2046
01:36:05.263 --> 01:36:07.268
And like, you're not taken care of.

2047
01:36:07.268 --> 01:36:09.142
It's probably a lot of things.

2048
01:36:09.142 --> 01:36:12.776
- Being super in charge
in front of 3000 people

2049
01:36:12.776 --> 01:36:15.640
and then being depressed
and not being able

2050
01:36:15.640 --> 01:36:18.180
to get out of bed, it's a pendulum swing.

2051
01:36:18.180 --> 01:36:21.158
So, I don't think I have
necessarily found my way out

2052
01:36:21.158 --> 01:36:22.563
of the depression.

2053
01:36:22.563 --> 01:36:24.263
I don't know. It's hard.

2054
01:36:24.263 --> 01:36:26.720
'Cause I don't know where it begins.

2055
01:36:26.720 --> 01:36:29.015
Don't know where it ends.
Don't know what causes it.

2056
01:36:29.015 --> 01:36:30.257
I just don't know.

2057
01:36:30.257 --> 01:36:32.390
I just do the best to
try and get to a place

2058
01:36:32.390 --> 01:36:35.558
where I feel like I can be
happy and maybe it'll go away.

2059
01:36:35.558 --> 01:36:38.083
Or if it's there at all, I don't know.

2060
01:36:38.083 --> 01:36:41.025
I'm just like, "What's going on."

2061
01:36:41.995 --> 01:36:44.753
(Scott Joplin piano music)

2062
01:36:50.821 --> 01:36:53.037
it's something that we can't wait to do,

2063
01:36:53.037 --> 01:36:55.533
because we've taken too
long without action.

2064
01:36:55.533 --> 01:36:58.007
So, it's just one of those
things where it's like,

2065
01:36:58.007 --> 01:37:00.173
you can't wait anymore,
you have to do it now.

2066
01:37:00.173 --> 01:37:03.067
I have one last stab
at this kind of thing.

2067
01:37:03.067 --> 01:37:07.511
And I am gonna try and
take it with all my might.

2068
01:37:25.290 --> 01:37:26.280
(birds chirping)

2069
01:37:26.280 --> 01:37:28.372
- I really wanted to argue with the judge,

2070
01:37:28.372 --> 01:37:30.541
"Come on, I'm on probation for two years."

2071
01:37:30.541 --> 01:37:31.688
I know you're up there judge

2072
01:37:31.688 --> 01:37:33.817
- I don't really think I'm
going to accept your ruling,

2073
01:37:33.817 --> 01:37:35.163
I wanna go to jail.

2074
01:37:35.163 --> 01:37:36.988
(laughing)

2075
01:37:39.810 --> 01:37:44.525
I say that I'm feeling
a true sense of relief.

2076
01:37:46.897 --> 01:37:49.230
I'm really glad this week's over.

2077
01:37:49.230 --> 01:37:52.260
- If we bring this case to a higher court,

2078
01:37:52.260 --> 01:37:56.053
then a decision can be in a higher court,

2079
01:37:56.053 --> 01:37:59.198
which would be, could
set legal precedence.

2080
01:37:59.198 --> 01:38:03.540
And I just feel like if we
can get our stuff together,

2081
01:38:03.540 --> 01:38:06.517
we could get that argued.

2082
01:38:06.517 --> 01:38:09.430
- So, you're saying you
wanna go to trial again?

2083
01:38:09.430 --> 01:38:12.238
- It's so much different now. It's...

2084
01:38:12.238 --> 01:38:15.538
- Because if you wanna go
to trial again, I object.

2085
01:38:18.515 --> 01:38:22.038
(waves lapping the shore)

2086
01:38:22.038 --> 01:38:25.488
(Native Americans singing)

2087
01:38:30.485 --> 01:38:34.009
(Singing becomes louder)

2088
01:38:54.848 --> 01:38:57.356
- We have to find a
livable way to be here.

2089
01:38:57.356 --> 01:38:58.572
(inspiring music)

2090
01:38:58.572 --> 01:39:00.275
And what the world saw,

2091
01:39:00.275 --> 01:39:02.716
was that people were taking real action

2092
01:39:02.716 --> 01:39:05.220
and it was non-violent, but it was bold.

2093
01:39:05.220 --> 01:39:08.276
And it was not purely symbolic.

2094
01:39:08.276 --> 01:39:10.277
This is a battle of paradigms.

2095
01:39:10.277 --> 01:39:13.918
It's a battle of paradigms
where corporations have rights

2096
01:39:13.918 --> 01:39:15.851
and investors have rights,

2097
01:39:15.851 --> 01:39:18.373
but future generations don't have rights.

2098
01:39:18.373 --> 01:39:20.410
The planet doesn't have rights.

2099
01:39:20.410 --> 01:39:22.580
We communities don't have rights.

2100
01:39:22.580 --> 01:39:24.815
What the fuck is sacred in a system

2101
01:39:24.815 --> 01:39:27.820
that lets Transnational
Capital, roll over borders

2102
01:39:27.820 --> 01:39:30.730
and trash the Arctic and trash the climate

2103
01:39:30.730 --> 01:39:33.511
for short-term profit.

2104
01:39:33.511 --> 01:39:38.005
And like, human beings are
sacrificed in the gristmill

2105
01:39:38.005 --> 01:39:43.005
of the oligarchy system this
is poisoning the planet.

2106
01:39:43.289 --> 01:39:45.980
(Stirring music)

2107
01:39:56.180 --> 01:39:58.030
So, we're gonna build a movement

2108
01:39:58.030 --> 01:40:00.110
to be part of something beautiful.

2109
01:40:00.110 --> 01:40:02.050
To be at the top of that tree again,

2110
01:40:02.050 --> 01:40:04.083
looking at it as the birds go by

2111
01:40:04.083 --> 01:40:06.698
and thinking that you're
something beautiful,

2112
01:40:06.698 --> 01:40:08.623
Because you're part of creation.

2113
01:40:08.623 --> 01:40:11.328
You know that there's
something sacred to life

2114
01:40:11.328 --> 01:40:13.113
and that we're a part of it.

2115
01:40:14.450 --> 01:40:16.108
That's what's at stake.

2116
01:40:24.366 --> 01:40:26.783
(Soft piano music)

2117
01:40:36.611 --> 01:40:39.361
(Air hissing as bus door opens)

2118
01:40:43.130 --> 01:40:45.989
- You guys, people have to get through.

2119
01:40:45.989 --> 01:40:48.972
(crowd cheering)

2120
01:40:52.708 --> 01:40:55.291
- Oh, my God. I love you.

2121
01:40:57.674 --> 01:40:59.920
(crowd applauding)

2122
01:40:59.920 --> 01:41:02.897
(crowd cheering)

2123
01:41:02.897 --> 01:41:04.472
- Oh, my God.

2124
01:41:09.989 --> 01:41:11.706
- Sweet heart.

2125
01:41:13.273 --> 01:41:16.306
Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.

2126
01:41:16.306 --> 01:41:18.765
Thank you all very much. Thank you.

2127
01:41:20.142 --> 01:41:22.892
(stirring music)

2128
01:42:12.512 --> 01:42:15.570
(music fades)
