Film Lens

Invasion
In 'Invasion', the Wet’suwet’en Nation's struggle against colonial violence is presented through their confrontation with the Canadian government and TC Energy. The Unist’ot’en Camp, active for nearly a decade, serves as a healing space for Indigenous people and settlers, reflecting the principles of decolonization. The film examines the ramifications of TC Energy's interim injunction, which has resulted in violence, environmental destruction, and violations of human rights. The Gidimt’en checkpoint symbolizes the determination of the Wet’suwet’en people in their fight for land and rights. This conflict is framed not only as a struggle for territory but also as part of a wider movement advocating for justice and recognition of Indigenous sovereignty amidst ongoing reconciliation discussions.
