Texas Pipeline Blockade
The Keystone XL Pipeline is a proposed oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico; activists have described the pipeline as the fuse to an enormous carbon bomb.  Efforts to block the pipeline's construction have escalated recently in Texas, as we see in this segment.

WHO WE ARE:



We are the Chicago Indymedia Video Collective. We operate along the same lines as Indymedia, fostering the same ideals and processes. We are a collective of media producers, activists, videographers and concerned citizens offering your alternative to mainstream corporate coverage of local and international events, movements and expression. In the summer of 2003 the idea of an independent television show, free from corporate bias and serving the needs of the community, was conceived. Chicago Independent Television is the result of that movement.

Our mission is to provide YOUR CORPORATE NEWS ALTERNATIVE.
