The Radicals (DVD)

A documentary film that follows a group of snowboarders and surfers as they drift from their respective sports into the world of activism. Together they journey across the west coast of British Columbia, weaving a story of learning, inspiration and resistance as they encounter frontline land defenders from the Xwisten, Tahltan, Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw, and Haida nations. Starring Tamo Campos, Marie France Roy, Jasper Snow Rosen and Meghann O'Brien, THE RADICALS challenges outdoor enthusiasts to examine their relationships with the places they use for recreation. It introduces controversial resource extraction projects and gives a voice to the indigenous communities that they affect. From the Tahltan fight for the Iskut Headwaters, BC Hydro's corruption in Xwisten, art as resilience on Haida Gwaii, to a coastal uprising against fish farms, each community teaches the athletes what it means to be a true radical.
