The feature film is In the Footsteps of Our Ancestors.

In The Footsteps Of Our Ancestors is an epic documentary feature that follows the journey of 11 brave hikers during a 37-mile traverse of the trail as part of the 2017 Canol Youth Leadership Hike.
A themed evening about climate change and filmmakers’ role in the conversation about climate change featuring guest speakers.
Treeline, our feature film, follows a group of skiers, snowboarders, scientists and healers to the birch forests of Japan, the red cedars of British Columbia and the bristlecones of Nevada, as they explore an ancient story written in rings.
