Have you heard about the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history?

Jen Muranetz offers a gripping frontline dive into the lives of activists urgently blocking roads on Vancouver Island 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.

Following a cast of blockaders, Indigenous land defenders and loggers, the film takes an insider look at the inspiring Fairy Creek blockade, creating a stunning portrait of contemporary environmental activism.

„If our forests die, we die. They´re getting killed for profit all over our planet. But it´s never too late to fight back. Let´s keep fighting back.“ - Josef Obermoser, Crossroads Founder

We are nature defending itself!
