Cant Stop the Water (2013)

For 170 years a Native American community has occupied Isle de Jean Charles a tiny island deep in the bayous of Louisiana They have fished hunted and lived off the land Now the land that has sustained them for generations is vanishing before their eyes Coastal erosion sea level rise and increasing storms are overwhelming the island Over the last fifty years Isle de Jean Charles has been gradually shrinking and it is now almost gone For these BiloxiChitimachaChoctaw Indians their land is more than simply a place to live It is the epicenter of their people and traditions They now must prepare to say goodbye to the place where for eight generations their ancestors cultivated a unique part of Louisiana culture
