spOIL

Watch this new film about the Great Bear Rainforest and Enbridge’s plans to build a pipeline for heavy crude oil from the Alberta tar sands across British Columbia to B.C.’s northern coast. 

The 14-day expedition to the Great Bear Rainforest called upon 7 world-renowned photographers and 3 videographers to thoroughly document the region’s landscapes, wildlife, and culture. The RAVE provided media support to the First Nations and environmental groups seeking to stop the proposed Enbridge Gateway pipeline project (and thus expansion of the tar sands) and to expose the plan to lift the oil tanker ship moratorium.
