HARD-HITTING. MULTI-AWARD WINNING. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTARY.
Huge swathes of ancient rainforests on Canada's Vancouver Island were (and still are ) being decimated by multinational timber companies.
WHEN THIS CONTROVERSIAL FILM WAS FIRST SHOWN ON CHANNEL FOUR UK, A LEADING UK MAGAZINE PUBLISHER CANCELLED THEIR MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CANADIAN PAPER ORDER.
It's a classic environmental struggle. But don't expect stereotypes. In some ways the heroes of the film are a group of loggers, debating the issue of their livelihood after dinner at a remote logging camp.
NB. Director of Photography, my friend David Barker, shot the film almost entirely hand-held, with 16mm film .. not video folks!
Editor : Ray Frawley
Director: John Edginton
Co-Producers John Edginton, Gillian Darling, Jack Silberman.
