When residents of the rural Kootenays community of Glade discovered surveying tape above the creek providing their water they got worried. Worried because they knew the tape belonged to Kalesnikoff Lumber Co, a local outfit planning to start logging in the watershed.

That was four years ago, and what followed for the small community is a legal struggle that has run all the way to British Columbia's Supreme Court.

Heather McSwan and Barbarah Nicoll are active members representing the Glade Watershed Protection Society.

And; on July 17th, 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed, shot from the sky over Ukraine. All 298 people aboard perished. Those on flight MH17 came mainly from four countries, and in the aftermath of the disaster, the Joint Investigation Team, an international body comprising representatives of those nations was formed to investigate; but, politics has hampered the search for truth from the beginning.

Max van der Werff is an independent Dutch investigator and filmmaker who along with journalist and director, Yana Yerlashova formed Bonanza Media, to produce the documentary film, 'MH17- Call for Justice', released last week.

But first, Heather McSwan and Barbarah Nicoll, fighting for Glade's, and all of our, right to clean water.
