While films about environmental
protest rarely receive more than a passing notice, it has been impossible
to ignore this story of how elderly women and children, aged 8 to 82 years
old, were arrested and jailed in defense of public land. In this dramatic
and inspiring documentary, FURY FOR THE SOUND delineates with passionate
clarity how a small group of dedicated activists came together to protest
the clearcutting of the local rainforest, and 15 years later found themselves
in the midst of the largest civil disobedience action in Canadian history.
FURY FOR THE SOUND provides a
previously unrecorded insider's look into how political activism can be
joined with personal empowerment.
A note of caution - after seeing this film, you
may feel compelled to re-evaluate your life.
