The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Director Auchter, a member of the Haida Nation, reconstructs the 1985 story of his community struggling against a major logging company. Their resistance was rooted in Haida spirituality, which made it clear that they would protect their forest land for future generations. This is an impressive examination of a movement, teaching how to build and sustain a protest, engage in debate and remain on the frontlines of resistance.
