SC Arts Centre: Sunday Film Series: The Stand
2026-04-12 16:00 - 19:00 | Sunshine Coast Arts Centre, 5714 Medusa St, Sechelt, V0N 3A0
We close the series with The Stand, a film by Christopher Auchter that honours the Elders, activists and supernatural spirits who helped shape a new future for the Haida Nation—and for all of Canada. In the fall of 1985, a small group of Haida people stood on a muddy logging road on Lyell Island—and refused to move. What followed was a landmark act of peaceful resistance that helped spark a nationwide reckoning around land, sovereignty and environmental justice. Drawing from over a hundred hours of electrifying archival footage, The Stand immerses us in the tension, courage and quiet humanity of that moment.
Doors at 3:30; Entrance by donation
