‘Great Lakes, Bad Lines’ headlines the Marquette, Mich., Fresh Coast Film Festival next month. Filmmakers Paul Hendricks and Colin McCarthy will be in attendance during the fest from October 13-16.
The tale tells of two Michigan natives and their quest to raise awareness toward Enbridge Oil’s Line 5, an old oil pipeline that runs through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, across the straights of Mackinac, and down through Central Michigan.
The pipeline, constructed in 1953, now threatens the area’s natural beauty — beauty the new Film Fest wants to showcase.
