In this short animation, a sheep drinks water from a toxic factory and turns into a zombie. Legends of the Weresheep was made with hand-drawn images that feature a river next to a factory spewing out black smoke. A herd of sheep graze next to the river. When they drink the polluted water, toxic symbols are emblazoned on their fur. The film was produced by Indigenous youth participating in a Fall 2009 Media Workshop in Flagstaff, Arizona conducted by the activist media collective Outta Your Backpack.
