Summary

In early 2020, the Wetʼsuwetʼen land defense exploded into the headlines, and sparked a national conversation  – but the story behind it had been brewing for nearly a decade. Exploring the work of the Indigenous leaders of the blockade, including the sacrifices they made to dedicate their lives to this cause, this documentary offers new insight into this crucial moment in Canadian history.

Capturing footage that startlingly echoes Alanis Obomsawin’s 1994 film Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance, this is a story we can’t afford to forget. Winner of the Audience Award at Hot Docs 2024.

“An incendiary feat of filmmaking” – Pat Mullen, POV Magazine
