Just back from a trip filming in Fort McMurray, AB, seeing the tar sands operation first hand. As devastating as the mining production was to view, I was also met with an amazing amount of kindness from the workers risking life and limb just to make a living. Accident, injury and death are extremely common in the industry and almost never reported to the public. The story of this boomtown and its people is extremely complex. I hope to write more as the film progresses…
The first photo was taken on the banks of the Athabasca River, the rest from a flyover over the Suncor mine, one of many in the area.
THIS LAND WAS YOUR LAND is a documentary tracing the route of the Keystone XL pipeline on foot.
