In September, journalist Brandi Morin and cinematographer Geordie Day spent several days in the Fort Chipewyan area, reporting on the enduring impact of oil sands extraction on local Indigenous communities for IndigiNews, The Real News Network and Ricochet. They met with ACFN Chief Allan Adam and other community members and Elders, and spoke with experts like toxicologist Mandy Olsgard and Dr. John O'Connor. It’s one of several reporting trips Morin has made to the area over the past year, covering a story that may soon wind up in court, and in national headlines. This article, and accompanying feature documentary, are co-published by all three outlets.
