HAVE YOU EVER FELT DRIVEN TO PROTECT A PLACE YOU'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN? That's the kind of power the project is going to have over all who watch it. The documentary will be a visual explosion of all that is rich and magical about British Columbia's wild and rugged northern coastline. The film documents the diverse wildlife and unique First Nations culture of the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii - and the efforts many are taking to preserve the fine balance only Mother Nature can maintain. Part Stand Up Paddle and Surf doc, part conservation and awareness project, the film is taking a stand. Watch for the World Premiere on May 3 right here in Vancouver! |
