qIFF: THE STAND

March 15 @ 7:00 pm 9:30 pm

Drawn from more than a hundred hours of archival footage and audio, Haida artist and filmmaker, Christopher Auchter’s riveting new feature doc recreates the moment when the Haida Nation took a stand for the future. On a misty morning in the fall of 1985, a small group of Haida people blockaded a muddy dirt road on Lyell Island (then known as the Queen Charlotte Islands).
