Winner, Best Canadian Feature Documentary Award (Hot Docs, 2015) Winner, Best Feature (One World Film Festival Ottawa) Winner, Most Popular Canadian Documentary (Vancouver International Film Festival) «So much more than a profile of this remarkable place and the cast of characters who populate it, this film captures the heart and heartbreak of the clashes it has seen, primarily over logging (in an unforgettable interview, a former police officer, who is Haida, recalls having to arrest his auntie at a protest). And it hints at what’s to come in a showdown over Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. As one resident warns and promises: ’We are ready to fight, believe me.’»— Marsha Lederman, Globe and Mail «… needs to be seen by all Canadians» – The Extra Mile «…Some of the most important environmental documentaries being made in the world include the work of director Charles Wilkinson.» – The Film Corner Fievent.com | Contact | Privacy | Terms
