From the Tahltan fight for the Iskut Headwaters, BC Hydro’s corruption in Xwísten, and art as resilience on Haida Gwaii, to a coastal uprising against fish farms off the coast of Vancouver Island, each community teaches the athletes to understand what it means to be a true radical.

SHORT FILM : TIED TO THE SEA

\"\"Tied to The Sea explores our human impact on marine ecosystems, the presence of critical tipping points in our environment, and what we can do to create change. Through a blend of science and personal narratives, the film explores the effects of plastics, POPs (persistent organic pollutants), preservatives and chemical compounds on the health of the ocean. When we feel connected, we care. When we care, we take action. And action can\’t be put off any longer.
