MINE is an animated web-series that poignantly explores the timely theme of community versus individual survival, through the eyes of a teenager. Set in the near-future, this powerful series transports us to BEAU VODA, a hard-fought utopian world where every aspect of life is powered by a miraculous healing water source. In the pilot episode, teenager BLAZE reluctantly steps into the esteemed role of Water Bearer with the help of their precocious sister MIA. But when the magical water is tampered with, they discover that their idealistic community may not be as magnanimous as they think.


On Friday, February 4th we invite you to watch Mine with us at 7:00 pm on VOD and join us at 7:20 pm CST for a Live Stream conversation with MINE creators and Denton activists as we near the one-year anniversary of Winter Storm Uri and discuss community-led response to the ongoing vulnerability of our resources in Texas, who makes decisions for our community and what needs to change. This screening and conversation will be available on VOD until February 6th @ 11:59pm CST. 

 

Moderator: Brian Rowland, Mayor of Prairie View & Local Progress Member Panelists:  Randall Dottin, MINE Co-director; Angela Tucker, MINE Writer/ Producer, and TBA Denton Community Activists
