Yintah
Jennifer Wickham, Brenda Michell, Michael Toledano / Canada / 2024 / 125 min
Who owns the land? And who protects it? The Wet’suwet’en of northern Canada never ceded their land and have ruled it sovereignly for centuries. However, this fact is ignored by both the Canadian government and large fossil fuel companies that want to use the land to build environmentally harmful natural gas pipelines. This film documents the community’s courageous struggle, led by Freda Huson and Molly Wickham, to preserve their sacred land and protect our planet. The inspiring story of courage and resistance calls for climate justice and condemns the pursuit of profit at the expense of indigenous sovereignty.
