An inside look at Indigenous land and water defenders and white allyship, confronting the complicity of the police with the fossil fuel industry.
David Goldberg’s documentary expolores the fragile dynamic between settler activists and Indigenous land and water defenders, focusing on the effects of colonization on the environment and Indigenous peoples.
Looking in particular at the anti-Kinder Morgan blockade that took place in the fall of 2014 within the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area, on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples, the film asks the question: “How do we work in solidarity as settlers on these lands, wanting to be allies with Indigenous peoples, in opposition to unnecessary resource projects?”
After the movie, David Goldberg will join us for the debate!
