A gripping immersion into the frontlines of the historic Fairy Creek blockade, where thousands of activists participate in a do-or-die protest to save the pristine Ada’itsx Valley.
In a last-ditch attempt to stop old growth logging, some impassioned forest defenders put up more than 12 blockades across the pristine Fairy Creek valley in Vancouver Island. History repeats in a deja-vu of the iconic Clayoquot Sound blockades in the 90s, this time with higher stakes amidst a climate emergency. A deep dive into the complex encounters of the settler activists, local First Nation members, loggers, and RCMP officers, this character-driven feature documentary chronicles the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion. Special guests include:
