Heather and Goliath is a humorous and inspiring short film in which people risk their livelihood or freedom in order to stand for what they feel is right.
In the spring of 2008, Heather Wylie, a biologist with the US Army Corps of Engineers, leaked an internal document in which her employing agency was quietly discarding the LA River as not eligible for Clean Water Act protection. A media storm descended on the issue, while local and national environmental groups scrambled to reverse this potentially devastating decision.
