HAIDA GWAII: ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
Directed by Charles Wilkinson and executive produced by Kevin Eastwood, Haida Gwaii: On the Edge of the World is a feature documentary about the inhabitants of Haida Gwaii, a remote archipelago off the Northwest coast of Canada that is frequently named one of the "Must See Places in the World". As one of the only places in North America where natives actually outnumber non-natives, this documentary profiles a unique community comprised of individuals from both groups who are all striving in different ways to undo the damage done by a century of reckless resource extraction and restore balance to the islands for the next generation.
