Film Lens
Guardian chronicles the work of wildlife stewards in British Columbia who live on boats and monitor salmon populations. These Guardians face significant challenges due to legislative rollbacks of environmental protections in Canada. Their efforts are crucial for maintaining the region's ecosystem, economy, and cultural identity, as salmon are a vital species in this area.
The documentary presents the increasing threats posed by science censorship and resource extraction activities, such as fracking for oil and natural gas. It emphasizes the urgent need for conservation in one of the last pristine frontiers, where both the Guardians and the wildlife they protect are at risk of disappearing.
