In 2020, anti-pipeline protests and rail blockades erupted across Canada in support of the Witsuwit'en, resulting in cancelled freight and passenger trains. Canada's multibillion-dollar shipping industry came to a standstill.

Yintah, the Witsuwit'en word for land, is about an anti-colonial resurgence fighting for Indigenous and human rights. It follows Sleydo', Witsuwit'en leader Howilhkat Freda Huson and their fellow land defenders for over a decade in their fight for sovereignty over their ancestral territories.
