NFB Film Club: The Stand
In-PersonOn a misty morning in the fall of 1985, a small group of Haida people blockaded a muddy dirt road on Lyell Island, demanding the government work with Indigenous people to find a way to protect the land and the future. In a riveting new feature documentary drawn from more than a hundred hours of archival footage and audio, award-winning director Christopher Auchter recreates the critical moment when the Haida Nation’s resolute act of vision and conscience changed the world. 95 min.
