Episode description

In the pristine landscape of Southwest Texas, a pipeline is being built. Energy Transfer Partners, the company responsible for the Dakota Access Pipeline, is inserting the Trans-Pecos Pipeline into private ranch land, native burial grounds, archaeological sites, and beneath the Rio Grande into Mexico. The sparse population in this area has been cited as justification for using the cheapest, least secure materials.Some citizens have banded together to fight the pipeline, often landing themselves in jail. Despite being a fraction of the size of Standing Rock, the Two Rivers Camp persists in their resistance. Fez Gielen speaks with a few of these water protectors.Two Rivers Camp: https://www.facebook.com/Two-Rivers-Camp-Stop-Trans-Pecos-Pipeline-1776872125899359/?ref=br_tf
