It was the biggest act of civil disobedience in 好色tv history.聽

The documentary won the Best 好色tv Feature award at the Planet in Focus Film Festival in Toronto this summer, and screened at Montana鈥檚 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival.

Now, it鈥檚 getting a Nova Scotia debut with screenings in Halifax, Tatamagouche, Inverness, Annapolis Royal and Wolfville. There will be two showings in Halifax on Monday.

Neal Livingston, an executive producer and Nova Scotia filmmaker, says he鈥檚 proud to see the excitement Nova Scotians have for the film and the connections they are making to the material.聽

鈥�(Fairy Creek) was insane to me, because you鈥檝e got people stopping everything they鈥檙e doing in their lives and living at these protest sites, with thousands of people showing up,鈥� Livingston said from his home near Mabou. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 have a history of that (in Nova Scotia) but I think it鈥檚 amazing for people to see that here.鈥�

Livingston says the film is especially timely for Nova Scotians, as activists in Cape Breton say they have been targeted by recent legislation.聽

In September, activists set up camp at Hunter鈥檚 Mountain in Cape Breton, protesting against clear cutting of the forest there.聽

That month, the province introduced an omnibus bill that would make blocking forest access roads illegal and come with a fine of up to $50,000 and/or six months in jail. This fine is a steep increase from the current $2,000 penalty.聽

When the bill was introduced, former natural resources minister Tory Rushton said that the province had no objection to peaceful protests, but that the legislation was introduced at the request of conservation officers and meant to keep people safe around heavy equipment.聽

At the time, protesters told APTN they believed the bill was aimed at them, and that they had no plans to move, regardless of legislation.聽

The film鈥檚 director, Jen Muranetz, says putting together this type of immersive documentary took years. Now she鈥檚 able to see audiences connect to the material in new ways.聽

鈥淲e鈥檝e had two screenings so far in Nova Scotia, and both of them have been really powerful, because we鈥檝e been able to bring Mi鈥檏maq land defenders in to speak on a panel afterwards,鈥� Muranetz says. 鈥淭he message about environmental direct action movements can span from one coast to the other and people are able to find their own story in it.鈥�

Livingston says the film captures a breaking point of sorts.聽

In one scene, a man sits with his hand chained inside of a log, acting as a human shield against forestry equipment. 鈥淗e鈥檚 sitting there, and he says 鈥榃e did everything right. Everybody did the right things. They wrote to the government, they talked to the government, and nothing got anywhere. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e here.鈥澛�
