Finding Nellie & Guardian of the Rivers

Drugged up dogs, corporate evil, and copious amounts of birthday cake! Emily tells the story of Ellie De Castro who set out on a mission to find out who Nellie E. Brown, the namesake of her father's elementary school, was. The simple question took an international team two years to answer and was far from what anyone expected. Then, Kelley tells the story of Berta Cáceres, a Lenca woman in Honduras fighting to protect the environment and her ancestral lands. But when corporate greed and government corruption come together, the results are tragic. Grab your decanter of mystery whisky and keep the hope alive, because we're wining about herstory!
