The last leg of the network of oil pipelines that stretches from North Dakota to the Gulf of Mexico is under construction. Indigenous protesters are among those who are committing acts of civil disobedience to try and halt completion of the 160-mile Bayou Bridge Pipeline project. They fear the possibility of an oil spill contaminating vital wetlands in Louisiana. We’ll hear from some of the stakeholders in the fight that has its roots in the opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline.
