Watch and Learn: our work and our community leaders
Witness the untold stories of resilience and triumph in our documentary "When Dreamers Become Heroes" as we shed light on the intricate tapestry of challenges left behind by the Big Oil Industry in Southwest Louisiana. Through intimate narratives, you will see the profound impacts in the communities that are burdened with corporate pollution from the eyes of individuals who have been overlooked, but refuse to be forgotten.
In this powerful video, community leaders Debra Ramirez and Lois Booker Malvo share hard-earned wisdom from decades of environmental justice organizing in Mossville and Fisherville neighborhoods of Louisiana—two towns forever changed by industrial pollution. Check out our Grassroots Incubation Project Leaders linked in the footer of our website.
HRP’s The FACTS Chairman, Captain Tad, talks with Oil Field Witness on his boat about impacts of LNG Exports on the fishing community of Cameron and gets to look through the Optical Gas Imaging Camera at the invisible pollution.
HRP’s The FACTS Chairpeople, Captain Ray and his wife Ms. Stephney, share a heartfelt testimony from their boat named Cajun Memories of what it is like to have your home town and way of life suddenly endangered due to industrial buildout.
Decades of hazardous waste dumping and continued unregulated dumping of toxic chemicals into the Calcasieu and the threat of even more has landed it as #9 on American Rivers’ list of America’s Most Endangered Rivers® of 2025.
Habitat Recovery Project and For A Better Bayou launched a “Stacey Ryan Courage and Justice Award”. This is the story of our dear friend Stacey, who fearlessly stood as the last resident of his town which was erased by chemical industry. This is just the trailer, and if you are moved, you should watch the documentary in full!
