ABOUT THe FILM

A gripping frontline dive into the lives of activists urgently blocking logging roads on Vancouver Island, Canada, in a last-ditch attempt to stop old-growth logging in the pristine Fairy Creek valley.

When police begin arresting people for standing in the way of forestry workers, thousands more protestors flock to the woods to participate in a dramatic and historic stand-off now recognized as Canada’s largest act of civil disobedience. Following a cast of blockaders, Indigenous land defenders and loggers, the film takes an insider look at the rise and fall of the contentious Fairy Creek blockade, creating a searing portrait of contemporary environmental activism.

 
 
“A film like Fairy Creek stands as a fine example to which we all should aspire and lend our support.”
— Film Threat
