Logging Algonquin is a documentary film that looks at the historical and ongoing logging happening in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. Through conversations with Indigenous locals, scientists, foresters, and political experts, the film asks the question: "Does logging belong in our modern day park?" The film not only provides expert opinions but brings the viewer down onto the forest floor as they follow a group of passionate environmentalists (Mark Friesen, Katie Krelove, Dave Marcus) searching for logging in the park and a researcher (Michael Henry) attempting to document the remaining old growth forest in Algonquin. While short in length, the film dives into numerous topics around the issue and manages to relate the logging in Algonquin Park with the broader environmental condition in Ontario and across the globe.
