Description du film [en anglais] :

Description du film [en anglais] :
« The wooded valleys of northern B.C. are the final bargaining chip in this feature documentary, as Blockade follows Natives and whites fighting for the clearest manifestation of self-determination: control of the land. Sometimes they are fighting the government; sometimes they are fighting each other. This is hardball, Northern style, dramatically played out in logging towns and Native villages across Canada and in boardrooms and stock markets around the world. »
