in this mini-documentary, planet forward comcast sustainable storytelling fellow mckenzie allen-charmley approaches the ongoing water crisis on the navajo nation, where more than 30% of navajo families<\/a> lack access to running water. <\/p>\n

allen-charmley highlights the groundwork being done by individuals and organizations like digdeep<\/a>, a community-led initiative that strives to find solutions to providing water to the thousands who are without it everyday on the navajo nation<\/a>. allen-charmley connects with the navajo water project<\/a> as well as a student change maker to learn just how much t\u00f3 \u00e9\u00ed iin\u00e1<\/a>, or water is life. not only does this mini-documentary display the effects of climate change in rural parts of america, it also spotlights how lack of accessible water within indigenous communities can be especially detrimental during a pandemic.<\/p>\n

special thanks to the navajo nation, digdeep and the planet forward team for making the production of this video possible<\/p>\n
