ONE: Save The White Nile River: One Person Can Make a Difference! A Polly Green film

🏆 FILM FESTIVAL AWARD WINNER 🏆
Winner: Honorable Mention at The My Hero Film Festival 2015
Official Selection: Colorado Environmental Film Festival 2015

Join us in a heartfelt mission to protect the majestic White Nile River in Uganda from irreversible changes due to the construction of the Isimba Dam. In this compelling documentary, we explore how one person's determination and action can make a significant difference in preserving the natural beauty and cultural significance of this remarkable river.

The Isimba Dam project threatens to flood a vital section of the White Nile River, altering its pristine nature forever. The Ugandan government and The World Bank signed an agreement safeguarding a critical whitewater section from further dam construction. However, the planned height of the Isimba Dam could nullify this agreement, endangering the unique ecosystem and local communities that rely on the river.

But there is hope! By contacting the World Bank and raising our collective voice, we can advocate for the construction of a smaller dam that would preserve the Kalagala Offset Agreement, allowing this breathtaking section of river to thrive while still providing power generation.

This documentary is a labor of love, inspired by the tireless efforts of Jessie Stone, a dear friend and advocate for the White Nile River. Together, we aim to shed light on the urgent need to protect the river's legacy for generations to come.

The film takes you on a poignant journey back to Uganda, where memories of the once-thriving Nile River are now a stark contrast to the reality of the dam's impact. We witness how the river's transformation has affected local communities, leaving them struggling in the absence of tourism-driven livelihoods.

Our goal is to create awareness and inspire action. We encourage you to watch this film, share it widely, sign the online petition, and join us in emailing the World Bank to express our concerns.

The White Nile River is a treasure worth protecting, and together, we can be the change it needs. Let's come together as a global community to safeguard this natural wonder and its rich cultural heritage. Your support and participation can make a significant difference.

Thank you for being a part of this critical cause. #SaveTheWhiteNileRiver
