The Klabona Keepers is an intimate portrait of the dynamic Indigenous community that succeeded in protecting the remote Sacred Headwaters, known as the Klabona.

On Monday, February 12 @ 6:30pm-9:15pm we will be screening the short film on Wet’suwet’en resistance entitled Invasion, followed by the feature film The Kablona Keepers. This filmis an intimate portrait of the dynamic Indigenous community that succeeded in protecting the remote Sacred Headwaters, known as the Klabona, in northwest British Columbia from industrial activities. Spanning 15 years of matriarch-led resistance, the film follows a small group of determined elders in the village of Iskut as they heal from the wounds of colonization to push back against law enforcement, the government, and some of the world’s largest multinational companies. Nestled between scenes of stand-offs and blockades, land defenders reflect on how their history of forced displacement, residential schools, and trauma strengthened their resolve to protect the very land that was so essential to their healing journey. We are so excited to announce that Tamo Campos, the director of this film, will be with us to discuss the film afterward.

Tamo Campos, co-director of The Klabona Keepers (2022), is also behind several other documentaries, including Ru-Tsu (2020), The Radicals (2018), and A Last Stand for Lelu (2016). Campos is not only an award-winning documentarian; he’s a noted environmentalist, professional snowboarder, and core member of Beyond Boarding, a humanitarian initiative.
