Invasion film description: “In this era of ‘reconciliation,’ Indigenous land is still being taken at gunpoint. INVASION is a new film about the Unist’ot’en Camp, Gidimt’en checkpoint and the larger Wet’suwet’en Nation standing up to the Canadian government and corporations who continue colonial violence against Indigenous people.

The Unist’ot’en Camp has been a beacon of resistance for nearly 10 years. It is a healing space for Indigenous people and settlers alike, and an active example of decolonization. The violence, environmental destruction, and disregard for human rights following TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) / Coastal GasLink’s interim injunction has been devastating to bear, but this fight is far from over.”

Pay what you can – suggested donation £15. Cash only please. Feel free to bring snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to share if you can.

All funds will go directly to the Unist’ot’en camp to provide supporters on the land with food, medical supplies, transport, materials for traditional teachings and rituals, and legal fees, which will allow them to continue to fight pipelines that are hurting us all.
