An interview with Annie Alowa

 

"I Will Fight Until I Melt," a film featuring a powerful and eloquent interview of elder Anie Alowa, from the Yu'pik village of Savoonga on Saint Lawrence Island. Annie worked to raise awareness and action about the environmental and health effects of a military toxic site on Saint Lawrence Island at Northeast Cape. Annie died of cancer in February. She attributed her cancer, as well as the cancers of others who live on Saint Lawrence Island, to the military poisoning of NE Cape. She leaves an important message to those accountable for the military site as well as for those of us involved in environmental and social justice issues.
