The story of a love relationship between a brother and sister and an eventual breakup that will forever change their lives.

No synopsis available yet.

Once upon a time, in almost every industrial city, countless rivers flowed. We built houses along their banks. Our roads hugged their curves. And their currents fed our mills and factories. But as cities grew, we polluted rivers so much that they became conduits for deadly waterborne diseases like cholera, which was 19th century's version of the Black Plague. Our solution two centuries ago was to bury rivers underground and merge them with sewer networks. Today, under the city, they still flow, out of sight and out of mind... until now. That's because urban dwellers are on a quest to reconnect with this denigrated natural world. LOST RIVERS takes us on an adventure down below and across the globe, retracing the history of these lost urban rivers by plunging into archival maps and going underground with clandestine urban explorers.

Miyawata is a 15-year-old indigenous activist from Winnipeg, Canada, who never hesitates to speak up for what she believes in. Each morning, schools in Canada play the national anthem, and all students are expected to stand. In protest of the injustices that her people have faced throughout the history of Canada, Miyawata sits down instead. But will she be able to persuade the head teacher to change the school’s land rights acknowledgement? Miyawata is also the organiser of school climate strikes in her hometown. The climate movement in Winnipeg had enormous momentum until Covid hit, and now that the end of the pandemic is in sight, she wants to get the movement going again.
