Clearcut
When a lawyer loses an appeal to stop a logging company from clear-cutting a forest, Arthur, an Indigenous militant activist, drags him and the kidnapped logging mill manager into the forest. The lawyer's empty talk about how the company's greed should be punished is put into brutal action by Arthur, who tortures the manager in allegorical ways mimicking what loggers do to the forest.
The restoration of this film has been made available for National Canadian Film Day courtesy of Severin Films, who is donating the proceeds to Indigenous and environmental charities.
