The story of a 1985 anti logging protest on Haida Gwaii is coming to Nanaimo for a special screening

The Stand from filmmaker Christopher Auchter draws from more than a hundred hours of archival footage of the protest on Lyell island, footage recorded while the events were still unfolding

The documentary premiered at the Vancouver International Film Festival in September, and will be screening at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre this Sunday.

CHLY and CVOX reporter Heather Watson spoke with the filmmaker behind The Stand.
