GREEN CHAIN (THE)

Nothing is ever clear cut.

The battle between loggers and environmentalists is defining, dividing and destroying communities in Canada and around the world. The Green Chain is a powerful, funny and thought-provoking film about the conflicts between the tree-lovers on both sides of the battle who are willing to risk anything to protect their personal visions of the forest.

The Green Chain examines a community and a way of life through a series of riveting inter-linking monologues inspired by the true tales and personalities that define today’s forests.
