The Site C Dam project on northern British Columbia’s Peace River cuts across the province in an area largely populated by Indigenous peoples — including West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations, two of the smallest bands covered under Treaty 8, the government’s century-old agreement with Indigenous people intended to last “as long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the rivers flow.”

In this documentary, Haida filmmamker Heather Hatch documents the protests and legal challenges to Site C. Along the way, we meet heroic fighters like Roland Willson, Diane Abel, George Desjarlais - part of a coalition of resistance fighting to preserve their treaty and cease construction.
