The Stand
Mixing animation with a wealth of archival footage, Chris Auchter’s film explores the 1985 dispute over clearcut logging on Haida Gwaii. On one side are Western Forest Products and Frank Belsen Logging, who plan to engage in clearcut logging on Tllga Kun Gwaayaay (Lyell Island) and are supported by the BC government. On the other side is the Haida Nation, which wishes to protect its lands against further destruction. The confrontation involves court proceedings and a blockade, and Auchter takes us from canny retrospective commentary to the thick of the action.

Reviews
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
The first must-see film of the year.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
