As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming, the South Hill Branch of the Vancouver Public Library will present The Stand.
The Stand | Filmmaker: Christopher Auchter | 2024 | 95 min
On a misty morning in the fall of 1985, a small group of Haida people blockaded a muddy dirt road on Lyell Island, demanding the government work with Indigenous people to find a way to protect the land and the future. In a riveting new feature documentary drawn from more than a hundred hours of archival footage and audio, award-winning director Christopher Auchter (Now Is the Time) recreates the critical moment when the Haida Nation’s resolute act of vision and conscience changed the world.
THE STAND | Official Trailer | National Film Board of Canada
