COEXTINCTION


After the mother orca Tahlequah carries her dead calf for 17 days, Indigenous leaders and scientists make a desperate attempt to save the last 73 Southern Resident orcas from extinction. Coextinction takes audiences deep into the interconnected web of ecosystem collapse on the frontlines of the Pacific Northwest’s most pressing environmental threats. It spotlights the connections between fish farms, pipelines, dams, and centuries of injustice against Indigenous peoples and makes it clear that no species goes extinct in isolation.

BEFORE THEY FALL

First Nations, conservation groups, and scientists have been fighting to protect the remaining old-growth forests in British Columbia for decades, but the conflict escalates when a logging company tries to access the last unprotected ancient watershed on southern Vancouver Island. Land defenders block the road to and hundreds of thousands join them. A telling illustration of decades of indigenous disenfranchisement, Before They Fall tells the story of Fairy Creek and points to the Indigenous voices calling out for defense of the land.

THE KLABONA KEEPERS

“70 years ago the government moved my people out of this traditional territory. Shortly after my aunt and uncle we’re taken from their parents to be put in residential schools. The government was taking the children from our land. Now they are trying to take the land from our children.

For the past 15 years the Klabona Keepers have fought hard to prevent coal and gas tenures in our sacred headwaters. We will not be displaced again. This documentary is the story of our struggle.”

The Klabona Keepers is a love letter to the land and a testament to the resilience of the Tahltan people. Overcoming forced displacement and residential school trauma, the Klabona Keepers show what is possible when a small but dedicated group takes a stand.

WHAT ABOUT OUR FUTURE?


The “Sustainabiliteens” brought 150,000 people to the streets of Vancouver to march against climate destruction. This inspiring group of teenagers voice their fears about the alarming future they are posed to inherit, and attempt something many adults won't: to do something about it. This film asks young people to recognize how powerful their voices are, what they can accomplish, and paints in bold letters on a marching banner: what about our future?
