Q & A with Filmmaker Leslie Iwerks via Skype after Film Viewing!

Filmmaker, Leslie Iwerks. Narrated by Daryl Hannah

Academy Award® and Emmy® Award-nominated filmmaker Leslie Iwerks has done it again! Following up on her 2009 and 2010 documentaries "Dirty Oil" and "Downstream," which investigated the health and environmental impacts of the Alberta oil sands, and her 2007 "Recycled Life," a film about Central America's largest garbage dump in Guatemala City and the people who live and work there, Ms. Iwerks has recently released "Pipe Dreams," a 40-minute documentary about the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.

Previewed in January to audiences in New York, California, Nebraska, and circulated widely to members of the U.S. Congress, the House of Representatives, and the White House, this recently Oscar® short-listed film has received rave reviews: "Riveting! A compelling film that chronicles a David & Goliath story involving governments, politics and huge corporate interests" (Leonard Maltin). From Hardisty, Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast, the controversial Keystone XL pipeline is poised to cross the largest freshwater resource in the U.S., the Ogallala Aquifer, threatening irreversible damage to human health, land and water.
