Je suis Magpie

Synopsis

On Quebec's North Shore, the Magpie River flows freely, one of the last rivers of its kind in the region. In 2021, it became the first river in North America to receive legal personhood, granting it rights similar to those of a human. This documentary covers the events leading to this landmark decision and the implications for environmental law and river conservation. It features local activists and legal experts advocating for the river's protection and the ongoing efforts to preserve its natural state.
