12 days, thousands of kilometers dodging potholes and cynical corporate PR—from Nehirowisiw Territory to Kanehsatake, swing through Wemotaci, then Mashteuiatsh—just to film land defenders giving CN and the clear-cutting psychopaths the one-finger salute. This clip, They Stopped the Train to Defend the Forest, is a taste of our full doc Defenders of the Forest, dropping soon and free for your solidarity screenings. Stay woke (LOL) and check 🔗 https://amplifierfilms.ca — this isn’t tourism, it’s frontline Indigenous resistance.

We’ve been bouncing all over the map this week.

Started at Camp Souveraineté on Nehirowisiw territory, standing with land defenders holding down the line against colonial logging.

Then dropped down to Kanehsatake, Mohawk territory, reconnecting with warriors still rooted in a long, unbroken tradition of resistance.

From there, we headed back north to Wemotaci, where we linked up with the Gardien·nes du Territoire — watching them keep close surveillance on the CN rail lines, blocking shipments of stolen wood. Successfully. It was heartening. Brought us right back to the energy of #ShutdownCanada in 2020. That fire is still burning.

🎥 Stay tuned for our upcoming doc: Guardians of the Land.

Lundi dernier, une scène remarquable s'est déroulée près de #Wemotaci. Des défenseurs de la terre #Atikamekw ont érigé un blocus pour faire entendre leur voix contre la coupe à blanc de leur territoire, #Nitaskinan. Face à la détermination des défenseurs, un dialogue tendu mais nécessaire a eu lieu. Découvrez notre vidéo pour voir comment ces moments se sont déroulés et comprendre l'importance de ces actions.
