In May of 2010, Enbridge Inc. made an official
application to build twined crude oil and condensate pipelines that would
connect Alberta's Tar Sands to Kitimat, and for the first time bring crude oil
super tankers to BC's North Coast.
In the fall of 2010, Curtis, Ryan and Faroe
kayaked 900 km in opposition to this controversial pipeline. Their journey
leads them face to face with the complexity of the environmental assessment
process, the difficulties local communities face in having their voices heard,
and the growing resistance against the pipeline.
Leaving the city behind for
adventure and the exploration of the isolated and dangerous coast of British
Columbia, they immerse themselves completely in one of the last truly wild
places on Earth. The trio becomes deeply impacted by their experience,
irreversibly entangled in the Pacific Northwest, and awakened to a world of
power, politics and the question of democracy.
