Set in a wilderness on the brink of extinction on a remote part of Vancouver island, this film is an evocative journey contrasting forestry as practiced for 10,000 years by First Nations peoples with the exploitation of the modern logging industry.
Inspired by Kwaxsistalla, a Kwakwaka’wakw clan chief, filmmaker Richard Boyce travels to the most remote corner of Vancouver Island, through some of the most intensive logging on the planet, into a wilderness that is on the brink of extinction. This film is an evocative journey, contrasting forestry as practiced for ten thousand years by First Nations peoples with the extractive practices of the modern logging industry.
