The wooded valleys of northern B.C. are the final bargaining chip in this feature documentary, as Blockade follows Indigenous and non-Indigenous people fighting for the clearest manifestation of self-determination: control of the land. Sometimes they are fighting the government; sometimes they are fighting each other. This is hardball, Northern style, dramatically played out in logging towns and First Nations villages across Canada and in boardrooms and stock markets around the world.
