The film “Bad River” highlights the persistent efforts of a Wisconsin tribe to safeguard Lake Superior for the coming generations. It delves into the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa’s rich legacy of activism and defiance, particularly in their ongoing legal disputes with Enbridge Energy concerning the Line 5 oil pipeline. This pipeline has been running through 12 miles of the Band’s territory without valid easements for over ten years. Since 2019, the Band and the Canadian corporation have been embroiled in a legal conflict over this issue.
