Jennifer Wickham, Brenda Michell and Michael Toledano's 2024 documentary covers more than a decade of Wet'suwet'en resistance to a pipeline planned across their territory. The documentary follows the process from the setting up of camps to the evictions. Police operations, court rulings and meetings with the company follow one another; the narrative shows how a legal claim turns into daily resistance. The filming was done from inside the community, and two of the directors are of that nation. Much of the footage was taken during the raids themselves. Who it's for: viewers of Indigenous rights struggles and environmental documentary. Who it's not for: viewers who also want the position of the company and the state; the documentary looks from one place.
