PEFF26 | THE STAND SCREENING + Q&A

Welcome to our PEFF26 screening of -

FEATURE FILM – The Stand

Auchter, a member of the Haida Nation, reconstructs the story of the 1985 stand-off between his community and a major logging company. The resistance, which was rooted in Haida spirituality, blocked the loggers from accessing Lyell Island. Tension increased as police and the media descended on the standoff, transforming the protest into a national flashpoint on Indigenous land rights, environmental protection and justice.
