Fury for the Sound: The Women at Clayoquot
Focusing on the long-standing protests against clear-cut logging in the forests of Clayoquot Sound Natural Area on Vancouver Island. This documentary reveals the important role of women in establishing grassroots social movements like the one to protest clearcut logging in Clayoquot Sound on Canada's West Coast. Depicts women of all ages fighting to protect the Sound, on of the largest remaining tracts of untouched Canadian rain forest. Although films about environmental protests often garner little more than passing interest, it would be a mistake to overlook this story of elderly women and children who were arrested and imprisoned for defending public land. This dramatic yet inspiring documentary chronicles how a small group of determined activists protested the clear-cutting of a local forest and reunited fifteen years later in one of the largest environmental protests in Canadian history. —Hayduke
