Malia Obama got political at Sundance by attending an event in protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline on Monday.
“It was amazing to see *Malia,” activist and actress Shailene Woodley told Democracy Now. “To witness a human being and a woman coming into her own outside of her family and outside of the attachments that this country has on her . . . because she recognizes, regardless of her last name, that if she doesn’t participate in democracy, there will be no world for her future children.”
Federal authorities halted work on the pipeline in December following massive protests. President Trump revived it on Tuesday, along with the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Malia, 18, has been at numerous screenings at the fest and is soon starting a Hollywood internship.
