America Reframed: Come Hell or High Water
Turkey Creek residents are descendants of former slaves who settled on the Gulf Coast in the 1860s. They have been stewards of the creek’s rich wetland habitat for generations. Now, developers have set their sights on this prime real estate, and the powerful forces of Mother Nature also threaten Turkey Creek’s survival. America ReFramed Come Hell or High Water: The Battle for Turkey Creek follows the painful but inspiring journey of Derrick Evans, a Boston teacher who moves home to coastal Mississippi when the graves of his ancestors are bulldozed to make way for the sprawling city of Gulfport. Over the course of a decade, Evans and his neighbors stand up to powerful corporate interests and politicians and face Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil disaster in their struggle for self-determination and environmental justice. SDPB2: Tuesday, April 21, 7pm (6 MT) & 11pm (10 MT); Saturday, April 25, 9pm (8 MT)
