First Nations, conservation groups, and scientists have been fighting to protect the remaining old-growth forests in British Columbia for decades, but the conflict escalates when a logging company tries to access the last unprotected ancient watershed on southern Vancouver Island. Land defenders block the road to and hundreds of thousands join them. A telling illustration of decades of indigenous disenfranchisement, Before They Fall tells the story of Fairy Creek and points to the Indigenous voices calling out for defense of the land.
