Clearcut
Directed by Ryszard Bugajski
A white lawyer arrives at a remote area in Northern Ontario to defend Indigenous activists who are blocking a logging company's clearcut of old growth on their land. A pacifist by nature, and perceiving himself as sympathetic to Indigenous concerns, he finds his values shaken when he is paired with an angry, rogue Indigenous activist named Arthur - played by one of Canada's most towering and beloved actors, Graham Greene - who insists on kidnapping the head of the logging company to take him deep into the forest - where he hopes to teach him the price of his destruction.

Written by non-natives and my god does it show it. I’d for sure love a remake with indigenous writers. So much potential. Graham was good in it, def a style icon with his wardrobe. Lol
Seen this when it first came out and it’s still amazing and still truthful today. Powerful film.
Pretty good cowboys and Indians movie.
Oh Canada!!
2.5 - Pretty good, kinda dark, a bit of gore.
