LAST STAND: THE VANISHING CARIBOU RAINFOREST /// 35 Minutes /// Trailer
Hidden in the interior of the Pacific Northwest is the largest remaining inland temperate rainforest on earth. This magnificent landscape is home to numerous First Nations communities, thousand year old trees and critical habitat for endangered species like mountain caribou. However, industrial development has pushed this ecosystem to the tipping point. “Last Stand” puts the Caribou Rainforest on the map before it’s too late. Learn more at LastStandFilm.org
CHASING WILD: JOURNEY INTO THE SACRED HEADWATERS /// 12 Minutes
Three friends set off on a 400km bikepacking and packraft expedition through the heart of the sacred headwaters in northwestern British Columbia, birthplace of three critical salmon rivers, and home to the Tahltan people. Their journey offers an exciting and sobering window into this wild landscape as they pedal through vast boreal forest, paddle frigid whitewater, battle monster trout, outrun a grizzly, learn about the Tahltan’s fight to protect their homeland and glimpse inside a massive open pit mine.
