Do you see the forest or the trees?
The battle between loggers and environmentalists is defining, dividing and destroying communities in Canada and around the world. The Green Chain is a powerful, funny and thought-provoking film about the conflicts between people on both sides of the battle who love trees -- and are willing to risk anything to protect their personal visions of the forest. For the latest on The Green Chain visit our Green blog. "Mark Leiren-Young has created a thought-provoking film that will raise the interest of audiences about one of the most important and pervasive controversies in British Columbia's history: the related fates of our remaining ancient forests and forestry jobs. Lets hope it creates the sparks to keep these vital issues in the public spotlight." KEN WU, Campaign Director for the Western Canada Wilderness Committee "The Green Chain puts a human face on the BC forestry industry. Actors were able to put across their viewpoints even better than the actual participants could have done. Even as an activist for preserving ancient forests, I could sympathise with loggers and their families as the industry folds." ALISON ACKER, Raging Granny
