Featuring shocking, never-before-seen law enforcement video surrendered by a disgraced officer, END OF THE LINE: THE WOMEN OF STANDING ROCK (Peacock/Fuse/YLE) is the incredible story of the Indigenous women who establish a peaceful camp in protest of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline construction that desecrated ancient burial and prayer sites and threatens their land, water, and very existence. Winner of more than 30 international awards, including the Hollywood Critics Association Television Award. Nominated for the 2022 Emmy Award for Outstanding Social Justice Documentary.
