In the film Land Listening, we hear of the River People, who belong to a cosmology that entails relationships among all kinds of beings. 

In the film we see the Aswan High Dam, the culmination of dams built by colonial and neocolonial regimes along the Nile in Egypt during the 20th century. 

In 1964, the dam’s construction meant the dispossession of over a hundred Nubian communities from their ancestral lands and the severing of their close bond with the river. The dam has caused the stories to erode; 60 years later, will we let them expire?
