Downstream streaming online.

Here is the link to the film "Downstream" which looks at the effect of the Alberta Tar Sands on the communities (generally aboriginal communities like Fort Chipewyan). The film has caused quite a stir and was short listed for an Academy Award. The film was also the target of the Alberta minister for arts who called for a closer inspection of what types of projects got provincial funding because this film was very critical of the government. Which makes it sound like the minister of arts wants to only fund pro-government films and thats propaganda ...or "P.R."
