“I will get it past the point of no return,” former BC premier Christy Clark said in 2015. She was, of course, referring to the construction of Site C, the third mega-dam to be built over Peace River in northern BC, right in the heart of Treaty 8 territory. Wochiigii lo: End of the Peace is a powerful and unflinching look at the controversies surrounding Site C: the dismissal of numerous environmental reviews, Crown crossovers in the Premier’s office, and the legacy of previous dams in the region that flooded First Nations communities out of their homes and off their lands, all without rightful consultation. In the wake of environmental destruction and community removal, Haida filmmaker Heather Hatch closely follows activists from the Treaty 8 Nations as they fight costly legal battles to protect their families, their communities, and their treaty lands. -DB
