Screening of Fairy Creek Blockade--As I See It

Journalist, environmentalist, musician, podcaster, and video producer Jack Emberly got to wondering what was happening last summer on Vancouver Island at the Fairy Creek Blockade, which had lasted for about a year at that point. In an age of abundant deceitful propaganda, he sought the truth of the matter. He had heard that the RCMP were illegally blocking media movement. He was curious as to who the protestors and supporters were. And why they were there. So he set out to see for himself and to personally ask the people involved. 

Over three days, Jack visited the blockade to interview and record, film and photograph the people there. He came away with some startling impressions that he compiled into an investigative documentary with the help of videographer Chris Clavette and the musical duo, Kat and Tony. 

And now, Jack is sharing the experience with you through an exclusive screening and discussion of his documentary, Fairy Creek Blockade--As I See It at the CEED Centre Neighbourhood House. Twenty-five lucky people will view the 38-minute video on April 14 (Thursday). Following the screening, Jack will lead a discussion of the issues to which the video gives rise. Admission is free. The doors open at 6:30 pm and the film will start at 7:00 pm. The screening is a collaboration of the CEED Centre Society with Cinema Politica Ridge Meadows.
