SEASON 2, EP. 1


This Season Two premiere will take you to Buckingham, VA–the location of a proposed pipeline and compressor station. An historically black neighborhood called Union Hill has been targeted to house the compressor station, which could pose significant risks to the people’s health and lower property values. Down the road, a yoga retreat center and spiritual community called Yogaville is also being threatened by the pipeline, which will cross the James River just upstream from their sacred LOTUS temple. Tune in to hear how these two communities are joining together to fight the pipeline.
