This powerful and inspiring documentary shows how a small group of dedicated women activists came together to protest the clearcutting of the local rainforest and eventually found themselves in the midst of the largest civil disobedience action in Canadian history, the battle to save Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island.
It would be hard to imagine a more compelling story than one of elderly women and children, aged 8 to 82 years old, being arrested together and jailed in defense of public land. But there is a revolution going on - in consciousness and in action - of individuals no longer willing to watch impassively the destruction of our planet's natural resources. And this revolution is being led largely by women. It is estimated that 80% of environmental activists worldwide are women.
Following the path of the suffragettes and the Chipko women of India (the original 'tree-huggers'), hundreds of women protesters at Clayoquot were arrested and jailed for up to 45 days for refusing to step aside in the face of logging trucks intent on clearcutting some of the last vestiges of the world's old growth temperate rainforest.
A moving insider's account of grassroots social history in the making, this documentary talks about much more than trees. It exposes the perils of what happens in the larger society when consciousness is divorced from politics.
'It is the rare viewer who would not be transformed by this story's urgency and passion, and the tremendous spirit and intelligence of the women portrayed.' Atom Egoyan, filmmaker, The Sweet Hereafter
'It is one of those rare documentaries that takes you with passion and logic into another mindset from which there is no escape.' Mark Achbar, filmmaker, Manufacturing Consent and The Corporation
'I cannot think of more critical issues than those raised and documented in FURY FOR THE SOUND. Coupling environmental concerns and struggles to women's empowerment and resistance, this project brings to light the intersection of the two most significant movements of our time.' Frieda Forman, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education
'This will be of special interest to anyone looking for a contemporary example of nonviolent protest.' The Online Journal of Peace and Conflict Resolution

00:00:47.590 --> 00:00:55.590
We\'re at war with a pilot to heaven basis
trying to go up and up there is no other God.
00:00:57.650 --> 00:01:01.410
How can quiz keep on let us have
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:14.280
more than 50% of all the temperate rain forests
of the world of already been logged blows
00:01:17.314 --> 00:01:25.314
This is too strong in
our universe The women
00:01:27.274 --> 00:01:30.289
have always been women as
individuals who\'ve thought for
00:01:30.290 --> 00:01:37.788
their freedom if putting
00:01:37.789 --> 00:01:42.559
an issue that is so important in front of
everything me a personal Freetown business.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.609
Everything is on the line for failure to
00:01:46.610 --> 00:01:49.999
comply with the code that I\'m
going to walk you have to
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.058
be carried a lovely big gigawatts
00:01:53.059 --> 00:02:01.059
enough to find out
00:02:11.290 --> 00:02:19.290
So if you want to cut down
these trees you\'ll have to
00:02:22.190 --> 00:02:25.999
go through me first the amount of
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.619
force that we cut from British Columbia
every year could circle the Earth twice
00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:42.663
more than two decades ago I had a major
shifting in my life my intellectual life
00:02:42.664 --> 00:02:48.859
my political allies Really
because of involvement with
00:02:48.860 --> 00:02:56.403
the chipko movement the direct action
of peasant women in Himalayan villages.
00:02:56.404 --> 00:03:00.989
Who had had enough of deforestation
and commercial forestry.
00:03:01.540 --> 00:03:05.599
The women first basically announced
that these trees give us
00:03:05.600 --> 00:03:09.424
life we will protect them
we will embrace them
00:03:09.425 --> 00:03:15.469
not lead to log and
eventually it actually became
00:03:15.470 --> 00:03:22.968
a method of blocking logging chipko means
to embrace and in village after village.
00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:26.628
Without any formal communication without
00:03:26.629 --> 00:03:33.784
any newsletter Without any funding a movement
spread across the hills women organize.
00:03:33.785 --> 00:03:39.663
Women organize as it never died
movements like that are never born.
00:03:39.664 --> 00:03:45.570
So they don\'t die they pop out
of the collective consciousness.
00:03:50.770 --> 00:03:53.399
So.
00:03:53.980 --> 00:04:01.980
Choose to block
00:04:04.550 --> 00:04:07.639
what sound is this gorgeous area of
00:04:07.640 --> 00:04:10.924
260 thousand hectares of rainforest
00:04:10.925 --> 00:04:14.569
And I guess in the context of
Vancouver Island that\'s not very
00:04:14.570 --> 00:04:20.519
big but it happens to be the biggest area
of temperate rain forest that we have left
00:04:25.450 --> 00:04:29.718
when I first walked into the rainforest
00:04:29.719 --> 00:04:33.889
and looked up and saw trees
that were 300 feet tall
00:04:33.890 --> 00:04:37.759
covered in Los and sparkling
with do and I just it was
00:04:37.760 --> 00:04:42.719
like a fairy land and I never imagined
that anything like this could exist
00:04:51.490 --> 00:04:57.634
Then I came out here and saw the clock
with sound and my heart just slept and
00:04:57.635 --> 00:05:04.469
joy and gladness in more wonderful
than I could ever have imagined.
00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:26.880
There was a time when Vancouver
Island\'s forest seemed endless.
00:05:27.430 --> 00:05:31.458
The logging companies
have taken over 50% of
00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:33.859
Vancouver Island\'s forests
And now they\'re looking
00:05:33.860 --> 00:05:36.288
over their shoulders at our
green pastures here and say
00:05:36.289 --> 00:05:39.738
hey they still have some over that way so
00:05:39.739 --> 00:05:44.939
we\'ve got intensified pressure
now to log clock would sound
00:05:47.820 --> 00:05:50.689
we are living now in a period of
00:05:50.690 --> 00:05:56.209
extraordinary and drastic change
far greater than has been seen in
00:05:56.210 --> 00:06:00.528
any comparable 40-year period before in
00:06:00.529 --> 00:06:06.168
the history of this planet and everyone
is having great difficulty dealing with
00:06:06.169 --> 00:06:11.944
it when will I do what I have
to do most of the devastation
00:06:11.945 --> 00:06:18.869
on this planet has happened during
my lifetime And I feel responsible.
00:06:18.910 --> 00:06:21.424
I\'m still the consumer.
00:06:21.425 --> 00:06:25.144
I\'ve cut it to almost minimum.
00:06:25.145 --> 00:06:31.009
It\'s hard to see how I can go any lower
as far as consuming the energy of
00:06:31.010 --> 00:06:37.590
the earth et cetera but I feel responsible
for what has happened during my lifetime.
00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:48.459
Right and that\'s one
00:06:48.460 --> 00:06:56.328
of the first time that I\'ve located in
that sound was sulfur passage back in
00:06:56.329 --> 00:07:00.168
1988 We blockaded for
three months I remember
00:07:00.169 --> 00:07:05.718
one day that there were two of us we were
stopping the whole show there was a time
00:07:05.719 --> 00:07:11.508
when we could do that guarantee what do
people anymore but there was a time not
00:07:11.509 --> 00:07:18.018
that there was an incredible sense of
power is hosted in being able to do that.
00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:21.124
Saying I this individual.
00:07:21.125 --> 00:07:25.080
I\'m not going to leave
this bump in the road
00:07:39.010 --> 00:07:43.860
And that means you later it\'s going to
00:07:44.320 --> 00:07:52.320
tell you when you\'re
00:07:53.570 --> 00:07:57.543
living with the consequences
00:07:57.544 --> 00:08:01.414
what are consequences there\'s
greater consequences at stake here.
00:08:01.415 --> 00:08:05.628
Everybody on the West Coast you
briefly the title from all over
00:08:05.629 --> 00:08:09.678
the world for the world war is
worse than London resonant chord
00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:14.899
or it is not much wilderness left 10%
in the world and a quarter of it is
00:08:14.900 --> 00:08:22.900
here It\'s
00:08:24.859 --> 00:08:25.998
not a very easy thing
00:08:25.999 --> 00:08:32.448
to explain the motivation for
standing up I am not a criminal.
00:08:32.449 --> 00:08:34.998
I know that I\'m not a criminal.
00:08:34.999 --> 00:08:38.689
I knew the full consequences of
what was going to happen I didn\'t
00:08:38.690 --> 00:08:42.229
know that I would get a
six-month sentence I
00:08:42.230 --> 00:08:45.019
expected to get a month where
is this thing going to end at
00:08:45.020 --> 00:08:47.839
some point you\'re not going
to be able to get people out
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:49.069
to those blockades if they\'re getting
00:08:49.070 --> 00:08:51.439
six month and year long sentences I
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.123
don\'t believe that I don\'t believe
that you just have to look
00:08:54.124 --> 00:08:57.498
at how slavery was abolished in
00:08:57.499 --> 00:09:01.893
the United States you have to look
at how the Vietnam War was stumped.
00:09:01.894 --> 00:09:09.894
I mean look at all those social movements A
social movements don\'t die out that grew
00:09:20.010 --> 00:09:28.010
out of your living room in front of my
daughter and I had worried about this for
00:09:29.350 --> 00:09:33.129
three years you know when and
00:09:33.130 --> 00:09:38.153
we contributed some to the Save
the clock what group you know.
00:09:38.154 --> 00:09:42.069
But I kept worrying about
actually getting involved in it
00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:46.268
because I knew that once we did one of us
00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:54.269
would go to But it was me if you look at
00:09:55.760 --> 00:09:59.794
the environmental movement at the origins
of the environmental movement in
00:09:59.795 --> 00:10:04.788
North America it\'s women it\'s
Rosa Lieber talon Canada in
00:10:04.789 --> 00:10:08.599
the nuclear issues the root
of the word ecology means
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:14.298
home and I think that women
have been and continue to be
00:10:14.299 --> 00:10:18.139
very concerned about the
environment because of
00:10:18.140 --> 00:10:24.198
their socially constructed role as caretakers
We have been primarily responsible
00:10:24.199 --> 00:10:27.274
for feeding children and making food
00:10:27.275 --> 00:10:30.588
and we\'re going to notice if our kids
are getting sick because our house is
00:10:30.589 --> 00:10:34.278
built on a toxic dump or if the food has
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:39.723
pesticides and and be concerned if we find
that that there\'s DDT and our breast milk.
00:10:39.724 --> 00:10:42.769
I don\'t think that that means
that women are closer to nature
00:10:42.770 --> 00:10:46.129
or that women have a more
of a responsibility and
00:10:46.130 --> 00:10:53.584
cleaning up but I do think it means that
we have to recognize that there are
00:10:53.585 --> 00:10:57.259
socially and culturally
constructed experiences that
00:10:57.260 --> 00:11:01.249
give women and insight into
environmental issues and it means
00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:04.608
that women all over the
world are very concerned
00:11:04.609 --> 00:11:10.243
You belong to the people who
did not belong to the industry
00:11:10.244 --> 00:11:18.244
sector perspective on native land and
you have to remember that eventually
00:11:18.334 --> 00:11:22.369
if not now tomorrow and if not tomorrow the
day after the government is going to have to
00:11:22.370 --> 00:11:26.479
deal with that whole issue they
had not listened to our letters.
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.619
Not less than two anything not even
the people who sat there on the lawn
00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:36.289
that day on March 18th when the legislature
openly didn\'t listen to the people
00:11:36.290 --> 00:11:39.319
and they were elected to serve
the people here they were
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.920
certainly good companies that
are beyond the law on the ball
00:11:45.970 --> 00:11:50.478
A huge percentage of the company
which they\'re giving the logs
00:11:50.479 --> 00:11:56.119
too even if the court has as
it\'s deemed that an okay thing
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:04.120
it\'s still not okay with me how
would you feel if somebody said
00:12:06.094 --> 00:12:08.958
okay we\'ve got a lack
of jobs and demolition
00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:13.279
and Italy so we have to destroy the
Sistine Chapel I\'m sorry folks I know
00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:17.283
Michelangelo and it comes around once
every thousand years these forced
00:12:17.284 --> 00:12:24.184
15 thousand years and there you go
sign little paper and there they go.
00:12:24.185 --> 00:12:28.038
What do I need a few more jobs and that\'s
what it\'s all about and then the jobs are
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:32.073
here for A 100 years max
and their god and you\'re
00:12:32.074 --> 00:12:36.303
a public service or public servants
00:12:36.304 --> 00:12:44.304
hotlinks locale is corporations multinational
corporation hotlink of which Colombia.
00:12:45.275 --> 00:12:53.275
More learned to give to these people that
come here we said that it seems that
00:12:55.159 --> 00:13:01.710
they still weren\'t Where do we have
left the area they\'re going to log is
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:11.508
close to Wall right next to
our only water supply i.e I
00:13:11.509 --> 00:13:14.929
just wish they would wake
00:13:14.930 --> 00:13:18.708
up I guess you would say and realize
what they\'re doing you know it\'s.
00:13:18.709 --> 00:13:22.098
They\'re destroying things and
they don\'t realize what they
00:13:22.099 --> 00:13:25.309
are destroying clear-cutting
is a crime that\'s all there
00:13:25.310 --> 00:13:27.798
is to it it\'s a crime against
nature it\'s a crime against
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:32.538
life and the people who
do it are criminals.
00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:38.459
Call it what you will to
go out and devastated.
00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:45.829
Huge sections of land that a well
result in landslides are soil erosion.
00:13:45.830 --> 00:13:46.219
That\'s
00:13:46.220 --> 00:13:54.220
a crime That
00:13:56.090 --> 00:13:58.054
was the most awful betrayal.
00:13:58.055 --> 00:14:00.858
I just thought well I\'m going
to do something more than
00:14:00.859 --> 00:14:03.649
I\'ve ever done in my life
I won\'t have much longer
00:14:03.650 --> 00:14:07.979
to live well I\'m going to do something
with what\'s left in my life anyway
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:16.080
speeds the love when
00:14:17.870 --> 00:14:19.668
she\'s strict to the ground.
00:14:19.669 --> 00:14:27.669
When things are way bigger than
we ever expected and in a month.
00:14:30.850 --> 00:14:37.204
Really in one month we went from being
a few people Reference smaller.
00:14:37.205 --> 00:14:45.205
If people had an enormous
impact on the world was
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.509
literally it was on the news
everybody knew what was going
00:14:50.510 --> 00:14:58.510
on there is a craving for
registering the waste.
00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:08.630
Will be raised even in the first
round of first degree two
00:15:36.540 --> 00:15:42.728
There\'s a level of frustration around
the state of our forests there
00:15:42.729 --> 00:15:50.729
was a need also for for people
to feel part of a movement
00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:05.568
Who were living in clear-cut.
00:16:05.569 --> 00:16:08.404
Who had no protection
concerns when new name.
00:16:08.405 --> 00:16:13.380
Who are walking on gravel
roads of blasting line.
00:16:16.420 --> 00:16:21.664
Our peace camp was based on the
experiences of women in the UK
00:16:21.665 --> 00:16:26.119
when they created Green ham common
it was thousands and thousands
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.879
of women who came together
and camped outside of
00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:32.238
a nuclear installation
protesting the missiles that
00:16:32.239 --> 00:16:35.388
were there and that piece Kant went on from
00:16:35.389 --> 00:16:39.168
72 until today there are still
some women who can\'t there.
00:16:39.169 --> 00:16:43.698
This was very much a women\'s
protests that Eddie Dress as
00:16:43.699 --> 00:16:47.974
powerful as possible that in their view
the cruise missile is not to do terrible.
00:16:47.975 --> 00:16:54.153
It\'s a weapon of death when we
started the peace camp we explicitly
00:16:54.154 --> 00:16:56.839
made a feminist principles a part of
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:01.879
our structure because we really
strongly believe that if we didn\'t.
00:17:01.880 --> 00:17:06.664
That we would be replicating the
same things that we\'re trying to
00:17:06.665 --> 00:17:11.989
change There\'s a difference between power
00:17:11.990 --> 00:17:15.438
over and power to make change the power to
00:17:15.439 --> 00:17:19.533
make change working together and
that\'s what we wanted to foster
00:17:19.534 --> 00:17:24.439
one does not have a hard time
just driving into the camp I mean
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:28.849
I know we have a hippie ban but it
took me a long time to edit my van
00:17:28.850 --> 00:17:36.588
and get down to it was such a hard
it was so hard for me to let go of
00:17:36.589 --> 00:17:39.978
all my my prejudices I
00:17:39.979 --> 00:17:44.669
guess I mean people looked different
there the one I was accustomed here
00:17:48.850 --> 00:17:52.143
so then I got to clack what I looked at
00:17:52.144 --> 00:17:59.088
This mainly young group of young people
what was I to do was I took hide behind
00:17:59.089 --> 00:18:02.719
their genes under long skirts and
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:07.890
let them go out and put themselves
on the line while I hit back there
00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:14.988
at the peace camp it became
more and more obvious
00:18:14.989 --> 00:18:22.989
that it was now we had to address the
problem no or it would not be addressed.
00:18:25.090 --> 00:18:29.088
Really has an effect living
the backup is so dismal.
00:18:29.089 --> 00:18:37.089
So I was very depressing Listen to
Alex talk this my 16-year-old son.
00:18:38.780 --> 00:18:41.939
About the future.
00:18:42.580 --> 00:18:46.159
Well Well what\'s the use because look
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.948
how much you guys have picked up the
world anyway so what does it matter it
00:18:48.949 --> 00:18:51.378
doesn\'t matter if I feel school
what does it matter if I do it I
00:18:51.379 --> 00:18:53.838
mean who\'s going to be
around any way to enjoy
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.999
what is there going to be
left for us anyway was
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.409
the point and that really struck me
a lot I thought yeah and what am
00:19:00.410 --> 00:19:03.739
I doing about this I\'m only contributing to
00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:06.079
it you know if I don\'t stand up
00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:09.363
some point and say no I don\'t
agree with what we\'re doing.
00:19:09.364 --> 00:19:14.508
I don\'t like this and so it\'s just one
small small part of what\'s going on in
00:19:14.509 --> 00:19:19.659
the world if I can\'t do that I
hope what kind of a parent am I
00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:27.660
yeah kind of a citizen in my kind of
mother am I. I drive to FED to go to
00:19:29.420 --> 00:19:35.209
to pheno with me I wanted her to
experience the peace camp I had
00:19:35.210 --> 00:19:41.838
no intention of her being either at the
blockade or certainly part of the blockade.
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:43.428
And then it was like a women and
00:19:43.429 --> 00:19:48.199
children\'s blockade course so we\'re
gonna get arrest and of course.
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:54.624
How could I not 300 women and children.
00:19:54.625 --> 00:19:57.553
Doing a dance.
00:19:57.554 --> 00:20:03.138
Back Dates way back that is a dance
about connecting with here and
00:20:03.139 --> 00:20:09.989
connecting with the planetary movement
and connecting with other creatures
00:20:54.670 --> 00:21:00.019
They all go away now how
are we going to work
00:21:09.470 --> 00:21:13.119
with it\'s contrary to When
we take them under fluorine
00:21:13.120 --> 00:21:16.059
generally it\'s not contrary
with him to work in
00:21:16.060 --> 00:21:20.903
groups and our take on the
theory there\'s a long history
00:21:20.904 --> 00:21:27.848
with women Ising against
authority or injustice.
00:21:27.849 --> 00:21:31.894
For the environment. Who
read us the injunction
00:21:31.895 --> 00:21:38.824
a Mac Low flunky who
handed us stand Jonathan.
00:21:38.825 --> 00:21:44.764
The same who control the
cameras there bought an Apple.
00:21:44.765 --> 00:21:52.079
Am I was trucks you know that the worst us
00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:58.069
seriously revenue when I
stood on the road there is
00:21:58.070 --> 00:22:02.059
no way I had any intention of showing
contempt for the court the court had
00:22:02.060 --> 00:22:06.229
nothing to do with this
process as far as I was
00:22:06.230 --> 00:22:09.259
concerned McNeill Odell
use to strategy here and
00:22:09.260 --> 00:22:13.653
continue to use it today in this province
and that is to use an injunction.
00:22:13.654 --> 00:22:19.488
Which then as a strategy pits the
people against the judiciary instead of
00:22:19.489 --> 00:22:25.428
against McClelland Goodell where
alarms and when you do that Of course.
00:22:25.429 --> 00:22:28.759
The judiciary is going to be spawned
to note very human-like way they\'re
00:22:28.760 --> 00:22:31.818
not they don\'t like it but they now have to
00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:39.819
judge you George desertion as issued
an order logging and started to see
00:22:41.540 --> 00:22:45.979
that authority was sometimes in ways
00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:50.839
that if I were to be honest with
my total being they were in
00:22:50.840 --> 00:22:55.474
negative ways right man
arrested at Catholic church
00:22:55.475 --> 00:23:00.349
they were but there\'s something
very special about women acting
00:23:00.350 --> 00:23:04.579
together and there\'s something very
special about women having a voice in
00:23:04.580 --> 00:23:07.459
the environmental movement
The environmental movement
00:23:07.460 --> 00:23:10.849
like so many other movements
was started by women.
00:23:10.850 --> 00:23:16.749
It was spurred by women is taken over
by man man of fan in the spotlight.
00:23:16.750 --> 00:23:20.238
Women have really been played down in
00:23:20.239 --> 00:23:26.359
the hole movement is classic
so many political movements
00:23:26.360 --> 00:23:31.879
started organized this undercurrent
of woman subpolar This time it
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:34.278
felt like there was leeway
in there was Kip and taken
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:38.089
that women were making themselves heard.
00:23:38.090 --> 00:23:43.650
Women were really taking a
stand and enqueue owning it
00:23:52.120 --> 00:23:56.689
The arrestees were two-thirds.
00:23:56.690 --> 00:24:03.918
Women. Women identify probably easier
with the concept of exploitation.
00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:08.628
It\'s not as great as step to
think about the exploitation of
00:24:08.629 --> 00:24:14.700
the environment when you know that you\'re
about to go into an exploited in society
00:24:31.330 --> 00:24:34.819
This little boy and it just
kept going back out there
00:24:34.820 --> 00:24:38.168
and I\'m not moving you\'ve
got to stop and look at
00:24:38.169 --> 00:24:44.584
in our shoes and what\'s his name on top No
but I mean I felt a Haifa how could I not.
00:24:44.585 --> 00:24:47.328
Yeah. At 1 I thought How could I
00:24:47.329 --> 00:24:50.178
not you\'ve got these little kids here
if they are going to stand up for the
00:24:50.179 --> 00:24:51.588
least I can do is stand up
00:24:51.589 --> 00:24:58.830
to the compiler has bought order walk
with your job and job be accompanied
00:24:59.290 --> 00:25:02.389
by big consumes I didn\'t
know what account with PBMs
00:25:02.390 --> 00:25:04.818
until we\'ve got myself being
arrested but I wasn\'t
00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:07.950
worried what would happen if
he goes brood about separation
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:16.759
The whole social service situation had
00:25:16.760 --> 00:25:21.003
been talked about and there had been some
threats before with the kids haven\'t
00:25:21.004 --> 00:25:26.268
being apprehended and so on I
wasn\'t I wasn\'t tokens but they
00:25:26.269 --> 00:25:29.239
actually happening in our situation
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.073
but the threat of it would be
really frightening for feeding.
00:25:32.074 --> 00:25:36.408
Children. Kids are rest
00:25:36.409 --> 00:25:40.098
of it is just a byline disgusting but it
couldn\'t go any lower than what they\'ve gone
00:25:40.099 --> 00:25:43.039
right now that you\'re going to be arrested
00:25:43.040 --> 00:25:47.958
yes or no because it\'s something
I believe in because I
00:25:47.959 --> 00:25:50.569
don\'t think it\'s right
that they are heading down
00:25:50.570 --> 00:25:53.419
the flourish may think I\'m weird
but that\'s the way I feel I
00:25:53.420 --> 00:26:01.420
want to say Thank you
for your parents around
00:26:03.349 --> 00:26:07.008
you while we want you to go and join them
00:26:07.009 --> 00:26:11.409
okay you\'re not going to
you\'ll have to come with us
00:26:11.410 --> 00:26:13.918
and okay because you\'re
blocking the road and
00:26:13.919 --> 00:26:19.878
you\'re now would you please stand up and walk
with us we don\'t want to have the carrier.
00:26:19.879 --> 00:26:27.879
It\'s not good to live well or you\'re a
spokesperson for this group 13 okay.
00:26:30.755 --> 00:26:35.659
Okay well let\'s take these little kids
in particular benefits right minds than
00:26:35.660 --> 00:26:41.309
up But I\'m going over to are
00:26:42.690 --> 00:26:49.963
who is your mother
00:26:49.964 --> 00:26:57.138
her it was a feeling
00:26:57.139 --> 00:26:59.959
of satisfaction and move things
around and when they get through with
00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:03.078
the day\'s work things say well
we cut down all that we\'ve
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.218
accomplished that and they\'re
not thinking in terms
00:27:07.219 --> 00:27:11.599
of the land is being a
living body that they have
00:27:11.600 --> 00:27:16.039
just damaged severely they don\'t
think of it in those terms they
00:27:16.040 --> 00:27:16.624
just
00:27:16.625 --> 00:27:24.625
don\'t And it\'s
00:27:26.300 --> 00:27:29.119
ironic because this is public
land supposedly this is
00:27:29.120 --> 00:27:33.049
crown land but the companies are allowed
to put these gates here because they
00:27:33.050 --> 00:27:35.974
say it\'s for safety purposes that
they want to keep the public
00:27:35.975 --> 00:27:39.259
out from for when they\'re
actively logging but as
00:27:39.260 --> 00:27:41.389
you know they\'re not actively
logging back here right
00:27:41.390 --> 00:27:44.328
now they keep the gates there
because they\'re embarrassed
00:27:44.329 --> 00:27:46.819
because they don\'t want people
to see what they\'re doing as for
00:27:46.820 --> 00:27:50.599
the same reasons they keep
little areas scenic fringes.
00:27:50.600 --> 00:27:53.088
Around the road sides and
around the waterways so
00:27:53.089 --> 00:27:56.699
that people can\'t see the mess
that they\'re creating right but
00:27:56.950 --> 00:28:01.278
my mom and my dad evolve those Tommy
to stand up for what I believe
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:05.833
in But they were mornings basically no
00:28:05.834 --> 00:28:08.118
from different people you
know you could be taken
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.549
away from your Mom what do
you do when you get off
00:28:10.550 --> 00:28:15.948
the road now and always really
emotional for me that she\'s my baby.
00:28:15.949 --> 00:28:21.138
My youngest the consequences
sometimes they\'re a
00:28:21.139 --> 00:28:27.059
pretty harsh and but peg you must determine
00:28:43.360 --> 00:28:46.488
I knew I just stand out more.
00:28:46.489 --> 00:28:50.744
Compared to everybody
else because I am native.
00:28:50.745 --> 00:28:55.324
Or some sort of curve.
00:28:55.325 --> 00:28:57.859
I am here for the Cloud okay now how is
00:28:57.860 --> 00:29:01.353
it people and all the other
tribes in the world that
00:29:01.354 --> 00:29:07.938
an array of their land is
our land is being logged.
00:29:07.939 --> 00:29:11.779
Basically It\'s kinda hard
00:29:11.780 --> 00:29:15.828
to say that now because so many
people have moved care and you know.
00:29:15.829 --> 00:29:20.403
We we do deserve our land
right back though you know.
00:29:20.404 --> 00:29:24.979
I know all sides of the story
like I mean my dad working for
00:29:24.980 --> 00:29:30.168
Mac Low and knowing that
people do need to work
00:29:30.169 --> 00:29:33.949
in neat stuff but there\'s to
00:29:33.950 --> 00:29:38.880
a point like he can\'t clearcut third
Camino more trees to sing and
00:29:44.350 --> 00:29:47.718
they were trying to scare me
oh you know you\'re going to
00:29:47.719 --> 00:29:51.768
be known all this and that
it was really emotional You
00:29:51.769 --> 00:29:56.539
know I was there for about seven
hours until I was taken away and you
00:29:56.540 --> 00:30:01.668
chew it Station they\'re held there
00:30:01.669 --> 00:30:05.478
for another six hours cell by myself when I
00:30:05.479 --> 00:30:12.109
was taking Peggy the officer
on TV at that time don\'t
00:30:12.110 --> 00:30:18.753
don\'t don\'t litter come
back to this area and
00:30:18.754 --> 00:30:22.518
I said just a minute ago this is our home
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.298
we\'re telling her not to come
back home you know this is Sarah.
00:30:26.299 --> 00:30:31.949
Who will come from here and we
never tell you not to go home
00:30:40.250 --> 00:30:42.670
Negative.
00:31:01.260 --> 00:31:03.788
Great pride.
00:31:03.789 --> 00:31:09.534
The honor of being arrested
dangling on guard for Canada.
00:31:09.535 --> 00:31:17.535
As my great great grandfather did
society sometimes expects the young To
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:23.269
act in the form of watchdog
and protester in they
00:31:23.270 --> 00:31:29.088
have in some senses more
tolerance for youth.
00:31:29.089 --> 00:31:34.799
Going out and pointing out the
weaknesses of what has happened
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:45.378
is going out here yeah okay I\'m
arresting you for failing to
00:31:45.379 --> 00:31:47.838
comply with Chief Justice SS court order is
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:51.633
Arjuris I\'m a recipe you man
and I am going to jail.
00:31:51.634 --> 00:31:54.048
You\'re going to the jail house
not enter materials and
00:31:54.049 --> 00:31:56.478
make a statement somebody on the news at
00:31:56.479 --> 00:32:04.479
all Means are things that yam
now we just take for granted.
00:32:04.789 --> 00:32:08.029
Until I was about 56 years
old when I really began to
00:32:08.030 --> 00:32:11.839
read and think about all these
terrible things that are happening.
00:32:11.840 --> 00:32:14.989
That\'s when I started to think
and realize that we are
00:32:14.990 --> 00:32:18.739
responsible to help to keep things good.
00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:22.714
Women in my age group tend to be.
00:32:22.715 --> 00:32:25.968
Come more liberal even
if they have been had
00:32:25.969 --> 00:32:30.228
more conservative views earlier in life
I\'ve seen this again and again women
00:32:30.229 --> 00:32:34.128
who had probably raised their families
were liberated by the fact that
00:32:34.129 --> 00:32:39.303
their children had vitally left home
and they were far more clear sighted.
00:32:39.304 --> 00:32:43.308
And sensitive in evaluating
these issues I saw
00:32:43.309 --> 00:32:47.238
that the corporations were breaking
the law and we\'re beyond the law and
00:32:47.239 --> 00:32:51.034
didn\'t care when I realized
that we had to do something to
00:32:51.035 --> 00:32:54.948
bring the public\'s attention to
focus it on the fact that this
00:32:54.949 --> 00:33:00.768
has got to change that can\'t go on
cutting huge trees take a 100 years to
00:33:00.769 --> 00:33:04.099
grow and pretending you
can grow another one
00:33:04.100 --> 00:33:08.430
in 80 years it\'s going to take
his place it\'s going offline too
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:34.548
These older women have had their
lives they\'ve had good lives
00:33:34.549 --> 00:33:38.688
and they want all young people to
have good lives to Canada is a
00:33:38.689 --> 00:33:44.269
wonderful can\'t gain gives us a pinch into
live on and we ought to be working during
00:33:44.270 --> 00:33:47.059
that pinch and if we\'re well enough to do
00:33:47.060 --> 00:33:50.284
something for the young people so
there will be a future for them.
00:33:50.285 --> 00:33:54.619
My lawyer told me that the government
felt that does it hurt them more than
00:33:54.620 --> 00:33:59.523
anything was the incarceration
of of grandmothers.
00:33:59.524 --> 00:34:07.524
So you know grandmothers you
don\'t realize your power We have
00:34:08.829 --> 00:34:10.988
incredible power we do get
00:34:10.989 --> 00:34:12.710
it together
00:34:14.830 --> 00:34:22.830
with reciprocation.
00:34:24.270 --> 00:34:29.179
Is assuming
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:42.698
that the logging
00:34:42.699 --> 00:34:47.199
and the tranquil logging cold
cream logging fortune channel.
00:34:47.200 --> 00:34:50.839
It\'s all access via this road So it\'s
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:57.199
a very significant place that we stand right
now it\'s a place for us to say. Not enough.
00:34:57.200 --> 00:35:05.200
Along that line you got on it so it\'s
not long enough to keep me safe but
00:35:05.759 --> 00:35:13.759
suppose I don\'t think it\'s crazy
to die for an ancient forests.
00:35:15.394 --> 00:35:17.419
I think with the madness is
00:35:17.420 --> 00:35:25.369
the clear cutting of trees are
well landscape by the change in
00:35:25.370 --> 00:35:28.459
time they are rotting the
construction of the row
00:35:28.460 --> 00:35:31.649
because I feel that the bones
have a stat to ancient forests
00:35:31.650 --> 00:35:35.568
distraction One of the climbers in the
trees whose been hit overnight is
00:35:35.569 --> 00:35:40.740
Diana wilson We\'re going to try and hook
up a radio to Hamah interview with her.
00:35:41.380 --> 00:35:46.879
Hi I\'m sitting in this tree today
because I feel that the public
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:48.708
have no control over public lands no
00:35:48.709 --> 00:35:51.634
significant input whatsoever in
the decision-making process.
00:35:51.635 --> 00:35:55.459
So I\'m fitting in a tree
to try and make it clear
00:35:55.460 --> 00:35:59.329
that it\'s not okay to to clear out
all of the old growth forests left
00:35:59.330 --> 00:36:05.179
in beautiful country when I was
sitting I was up for a week
00:36:05.180 --> 00:36:07.338
altogether I actually came down during
00:36:07.339 --> 00:36:11.854
a really bad brainstorm for a little
while But most of that week was spent.
00:36:11.855 --> 00:36:16.188
Was spent up the tree in the middle of
00:36:16.189 --> 00:36:20.419
the night to me we climbed up the trees and
set up our platforms and our hammocks and
00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:21.919
things and the tree is about 70 feet
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:28.098
up when your body is sitting there in the tree
it right next to where they\'re going to be
00:36:28.099 --> 00:36:31.428
blasting they they can\'t safely do it
without risking here your life and
00:36:31.429 --> 00:36:34.983
so that\'s the point is to
put your life on the line
00:36:34.984 --> 00:36:42.984
to stop them from from from blasting
they see them aiming the thing I me
00:36:44.930 --> 00:36:48.558
and they shot the steel bolt
trailing align what kind of
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:52.818
six feet away from my head I\'m
going The thing is that hits me
00:36:52.819 --> 00:36:55.758
that could kill me like Are you
prepared are you prepared to risk
00:36:55.759 --> 00:36:59.478
my life and the police I\'ve
said yes I\'m prepared to
00:36:59.479 --> 00:37:01.398
risk your life the profits
they have to gain
00:37:01.399 --> 00:37:04.099
from from cutting down the forests
are so important to them that
00:37:04.100 --> 00:37:06.588
they really are willing
to risk your safety to
00:37:06.589 --> 00:37:09.754
a degree that\'s scary and alarming
and most people wouldn\'t believe
00:37:09.755 --> 00:37:11.628
that the police are actually willing to say
00:37:11.629 --> 00:37:14.478
yes you put yourself up there
you\'re responsible for
00:37:14.479 --> 00:37:16.519
what happens to you and I\'ve witnessed
00:37:16.520 --> 00:37:20.399
shocking shocking behavior
on the part of the police.
00:37:21.460 --> 00:37:25.819
I flew over massive clear cut to get
00:37:25.820 --> 00:37:29.388
to you cool it to be processed and and
then flying over the earth and really
00:37:29.389 --> 00:37:32.539
seeing you know these are places that
if sake I mean this is the earth in
00:37:32.540 --> 00:37:40.540
pain underneath us We
said it\'s a good thing
00:37:58.090 --> 00:38:05.988
that the
00:38:05.989 --> 00:38:10.838
central limit theorem
00:38:10.839 --> 00:38:16.213
and what they\'re trying to do in the rest
of the organizers and they\'ve done it
00:38:16.214 --> 00:38:23.019
Watch when my lawyer was
going for the appeal and he
00:38:23.020 --> 00:38:25.268
phoned me up one day and he
said the crown say that you\'re
00:38:25.269 --> 00:38:30.159
a ring leader I still think about that
if you\'re in a ring there is no leader.
00:38:30.160 --> 00:38:38.160
Yeah I\'m gonna circle I want my circle to get
bigger because there\'s power in circles.
00:38:44.340 --> 00:38:47.978
Now remember the more. I
was I was standing on
00:38:47.979 --> 00:38:51.489
the side I was standing right near
you and I heard it myself did you
00:38:51.490 --> 00:38:55.539
do the quadrotor I have written several of
00:38:55.540 --> 00:39:01.173
the people to get to the corner Yes
we have always been unsettled or
00:39:01.174 --> 00:39:04.038
have not been impeding or
obstructing the Monetarist who sent
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:07.728
her work The wouldn\'t she resonant
lawful arrest I\'ve been always
00:39:07.729 --> 00:39:10.309
at the side of the road and I\'m going
to keep repeating or obstructing
00:39:10.310 --> 00:39:13.338
the logging operations all of
a sudden one of the policemen
00:39:13.339 --> 00:39:15.198
turned to me and said your
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:20.044
next point I realized oh my god
it\'s just like everybody we\'re all
00:39:20.045 --> 00:39:27.409
we\'re all going to get arrested and it says
that as soon I thought this is like Mexico.
00:39:27.410 --> 00:39:30.949
You know it\'s like you can\'t
do anything political.
00:39:30.950 --> 00:39:36.030
You can\'t say anything
political you have to hide
00:39:46.510 --> 00:39:50.598
That afternoon one of the
officers who I knew quite
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.839
well came and said you know
we\'re we\'re really sorry about
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:56.749
this and I said I was furious
and I said well then
00:39:56.750 --> 00:40:00.274
why am I sitting in this
jail and he said well I mean
00:40:00.275 --> 00:40:02.988
you know I mean you\'re
smart woman you know that
00:40:02.989 --> 00:40:06.409
they want you off the road and I said
in whose day and he goes well you
00:40:06.410 --> 00:40:10.458
know it\'s not our fault or orders
come from both it became very
00:40:10.459 --> 00:40:15.049
obvious at that point that McMillan
blood L was pointing out who should
00:40:15.050 --> 00:40:15.229
get
00:40:15.230 --> 00:40:16.800
arrested
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:26.433
And among
00:40:26.434 --> 00:40:34.434
the most moderate EUNETHTA writer.
00:40:36.020 --> 00:40:39.964
So I went to jail and it was
what the third day in jail.
00:40:39.965 --> 00:40:43.099
That I got a lawyer and
he came and he said well
00:40:43.100 --> 00:40:46.759
if got the papers and you\'ve been
arrested for aiding and abetting.
00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:49.669
Everyone else who has been arrested and
00:40:49.670 --> 00:40:52.549
clock would sound if you could
get arrested for aiding and
00:40:52.550 --> 00:40:55.549
abetting that meant that the
people who brought the sack
00:40:55.550 --> 00:40:58.549
of potatoes and dropped him off at
the peace camp to support us you
00:40:58.550 --> 00:41:02.568
know are the people who drove up with for
00:41:02.569 --> 00:41:07.159
people in their car and drop them off
And some of them got arrested or
00:41:07.160 --> 00:41:10.459
the people who clap their hands
when people got arrested cheered
00:41:10.460 --> 00:41:14.178
them on everybody was
an acre and a better by
00:41:14.179 --> 00:41:18.108
arresting me they made me
into some type of martyr and
00:41:18.109 --> 00:41:22.039
public figure I was arrested on July
16th off the side of the road it
00:41:22.040 --> 00:41:24.229
was the crowds decision to
arrest me off the side of
00:41:24.230 --> 00:41:27.018
the road though I wasn\'t
locking anytime I was making
00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:30.049
political speeches I was
acting as the government
00:41:30.050 --> 00:41:33.739
decided that it was really
difficult you know there\'s times
00:41:33.740 --> 00:41:35.569
when you just there were times
when I just didn\'t want
00:41:35.570 --> 00:41:38.809
to check my answering machine
because I knew that there would be
00:41:38.810 --> 00:41:41.569
death threats on it there\'s a point when
00:41:41.570 --> 00:41:44.914
you just think you feel like you
have no personal life left.
00:41:44.915 --> 00:41:48.228
What they don\'t understand And the rest and
00:41:48.229 --> 00:41:52.609
organizer by trying to intimidate
people from further organizing is that
00:41:52.610 --> 00:41:57.768
not only can we not be intimidating intimidated
we can be intimidating but you may not be
00:41:57.769 --> 00:42:03.258
intimidated but you cannot aid and abet
a grassroots movement that behind me.
00:42:03.259 --> 00:42:07.739
Hundreds of other organizers
and people that put their time
00:42:18.140 --> 00:42:21.648
we\'re gathered here in front
of the courthouse under
00:42:21.649 --> 00:42:29.010
very unusual circumstances this is now
the largest blockade in Canadian history
00:42:32.680 --> 00:42:36.798
And I\'ve ended very unusual that
we should have to come to court at
00:42:36.799 --> 00:42:40.008
all the files which we are
defending our public forests
00:42:40.009 --> 00:42:44.868
supposedly this is always been press
anyways civil disobedience and
00:42:44.869 --> 00:42:50.014
of civil contempt as well and it was
only like halfway through the summer.
00:42:50.015 --> 00:42:53.149
That the Attorney General
stepped in and changed it to
00:42:53.150 --> 00:42:56.493
criminal content but when
we were all arrested.
00:42:56.494 --> 00:42:58.653
You arrested under civil contempt.
00:42:58.654 --> 00:43:02.103
So it\'s make that retroactive and
in charge l of s with criminal.
00:43:02.104 --> 00:43:05.239
Both sentences of never being what
they were this year no one has ever
00:43:05.240 --> 00:43:08.239
gotten 45 days no one has
ever even gotten jail time
00:43:08.240 --> 00:43:13.818
for our first effect but move those two And
00:43:13.819 --> 00:43:18.378
the hazard zone so the change in
00:43:18.379 --> 00:43:24.349
the charge is by changing
what has been done.
00:43:24.350 --> 00:43:27.739
His van Sam some grouping
it will swamp three in
00:43:27.740 --> 00:43:29.539
the street and you have people
00:43:29.540 --> 00:43:32.253
trying to save the environment
and they get punished right.
00:43:32.254 --> 00:43:35.943
I\'m outweighed if I\'m a
conservative I think
00:43:35.944 --> 00:43:39.439
this is outrageous and I think
these people should be only wanted
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:43.139
to be conscious about the
environment and I think
00:43:49.750 --> 00:43:53.388
this is where those convicted
of criminal contempt of
00:43:53.389 --> 00:43:57.349
court Haven\'t applied for
bail pending appeal for
00:43:57.350 --> 00:44:04.144
serving their 45 days sentences housing
prisoners at this minimum security jail.
00:44:04.145 --> 00:44:12.145
Got $105 a day at that rate it\'s already
cost taxpayers $11 thousand to keep
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:17.838
the 65-year-old grandmother in jail and
I get out to Laurel who\'ve been here
00:44:17.839 --> 00:44:22.368
for over four months four months
and Kosovo happened so fast
00:44:22.369 --> 00:44:25.128
it was a Allison I stood
up and it\'s like 45 days
00:44:25.129 --> 00:44:33.129
and thought we were hugging each other
and it wasn\'t all so like some days.
00:44:33.980 --> 00:44:37.368
Some people were laughing they\'re
like wow I can\'t And believe
00:44:37.369 --> 00:44:40.338
it and you could hear the
people behind us the spectators
00:44:40.339 --> 00:44:43.218
they were crying and people that
were outside the courtroom worried
00:44:43.219 --> 00:44:46.548
were outraged and they were screaming
and then we also have singing.
00:44:46.549 --> 00:44:51.329
He are stronger than before and it
was just like it was so emotionally.
00:44:54.520 --> 00:45:02.520
We spent a month month on trial in a
court room and it felt ridiculous.
00:45:04.790 --> 00:45:10.578
During the first group of trials
the lawyers all had to withdraw
00:45:10.579 --> 00:45:17.490
from the case Judge then you caught up in the
web of law have today\'s to become a lawyer
00:45:35.820 --> 00:45:41.604
Mr. Speaker the Canada Council operates
under the Minister of Canadian Heritage
00:45:41.605 --> 00:45:46.808
this council grant and Hillary Mac Ian
Shelly wind $16 thousand to produce
00:45:46.809 --> 00:45:50.948
a video fury of the sound even
though these woman were under
00:45:50.949 --> 00:45:55.479
criminal contempt charges for the very
activity which was to be the subject of
00:45:55.480 --> 00:46:00.999
the video which was criminally blocking forestry
workers from going to work in black with
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:04.479
sound Back in wine where each sentence to
00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:08.709
21 days in jail on October
sixth for criminal contempt.
00:46:08.710 --> 00:46:12.098
Yep the minister states he does
not have any authority over
00:46:12.099 --> 00:46:16.268
the awarding of these grants and the
director of the Canada Council beavers to
00:46:16.269 --> 00:46:21.999
a system of evaluation by hears
Canadian taxpayers are fed up with
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:25.419
organizations that use
their tech scholars to
00:46:25.420 --> 00:46:29.303
foster the destruction of their
lifestyle Nino and blow down.
00:46:29.304 --> 00:46:37.304
Sure got a lot for nothing they ended up
having process that went on without costing
00:46:38.260 --> 00:46:42.129
them at on in legal fees as well as
00:46:42.130 --> 00:46:47.253
the police taking photos The graphs of
each person after they were arrested.
00:46:47.254 --> 00:46:51.258
Taking personal information and then
handing that over to McMillan blow
00:46:51.259 --> 00:46:57.469
down I was even more shocked when I sat in
00:46:57.470 --> 00:47:00.918
court in that first trial
and saw what became
00:47:00.919 --> 00:47:04.548
of those photographs and that
information that in fact
00:47:04.549 --> 00:47:07.608
they became a part of what I
00:47:07.609 --> 00:47:12.754
can what I\'ve come to call the
offenders of Macmillan blue del album.
00:47:12.755 --> 00:47:16.098
Color photographs of each
person who\'s arrested with
00:47:16.099 --> 00:47:20.883
personal information about them and
that was handed over by the police.
00:47:20.884 --> 00:47:25.248
Still didn\'t stop what they\'re
doing it really pisses me off
00:47:25.249 --> 00:47:29.629
the government Isn\'t
listening that thousands of
00:47:29.630 --> 00:47:32.238
people can come together and say no and
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:35.688
hundreds of people can be willing
to be arrested and changed
00:47:35.689 --> 00:47:38.719
their lives and they\'re still destroying
00:47:38.720 --> 00:47:42.558
our heritage land that\'s supposed to
belong to all those trees that are
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.438
supposed to be there for my
kids I don\'t want to deal with
00:47:45.439 --> 00:47:49.834
environmental issues no I mean
I still doing some local work.
00:47:49.835 --> 00:47:56.910
Mind you but somehow that\'s not
as threatening and it\'s not as.
00:47:57.520 --> 00:48:02.528
Hopefully won\'t be as difficult
to do is what the clock
00:48:02.529 --> 00:48:06.978
what was for me it\'s terrifying
to know about it but
00:48:06.979 --> 00:48:10.699
Not knowing is terrifying
to and by knowing we might
00:48:10.700 --> 00:48:14.118
be able to stop it still fighting for clack
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:21.258
that zone 74% of Egypt forced Clark would
sound at this moment is still up for logging.
00:48:21.259 --> 00:48:25.158
You offer they got. It\'s not just about
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:30.708
trees you know it\'s it\'s about
survival in a lot of ways it\'s about
00:48:30.709 --> 00:48:32.449
our relationships with each other and
00:48:32.450 --> 00:48:35.568
our relationships to nature
in a really broad sense it\'s
00:48:35.569 --> 00:48:38.508
more than the battles and authorise It\'s
00:48:38.509 --> 00:48:42.144
battle for understanding and
it\'s a battle about power.
00:48:42.145 --> 00:48:46.209
No matter what happens in
summary record system or
00:48:46.210 --> 00:48:52.319
we\'ve seen the sphere arising and clinical
exam What happens they can appeal that sphere
00:49:00.520 --> 00:49:04.173
in all the social movements
that have ever existed in
00:49:04.174 --> 00:49:07.894
the women\'s movement and the civil
rights movement the labor movement.
00:49:07.895 --> 00:49:11.419
Whoever was working in
these movements they were
00:49:11.420 --> 00:49:14.868
told that they were ruining the
social fabric of the country and
00:49:14.869 --> 00:49:18.139
that\'s what we\'re getting now and
for me that\'s a really good sign
00:49:18.140 --> 00:49:22.800
because it means when we are
being effective and keep pushing
00:49:32.530 --> 00:49:37.939
This is our cultural heritage as was
Canadian didn\'t have great cathedrals.
00:49:37.940 --> 00:49:40.819
We don\'t have the wonderful
stained glass windows and
00:49:40.820 --> 00:49:44.059
everything which we can go and visit so
that\'s part of my culture we don\'t have
00:49:44.060 --> 00:49:48.423
a long history of writings
and poetry and of
00:49:48.424 --> 00:49:49.878
folk songs but we have
00:49:49.879 --> 00:49:54.799
this very recent history and it\'s
very much based in the wilderness.
00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:57.724
For what we need to do is keep
00:49:57.725 --> 00:50:01.309
our culture strong because it\'s
still development even if even
00:50:01.310 --> 00:50:03.289
that we won\'t be like a people
00:50:03.290 --> 00:50:03.590
without
00:50:03.591 --> 00:50:05.309
a basis
00:50:13.060 --> 00:50:15.270
Yeah
00:51:20.380 --> 00:51:24.029
And that combined.
00:51:28.270 --> 00:51:36.270
Have to add
00:52:04.030 --> 00:52:06.780
So
00:52:08.470 --> 00:52:13.233
That\'s a
00:52:13.234 --> 00:52:15.379
savings
