With a decision on Enbridge�s Northern Gateway due in weeks, now is a critical time to rally for our coast.

About the film:

Last fall Raincoast�s research vessel, Achiever, set sail with Patagonia, their world-famous team of surfers and Canada�s top ranked surfer Pete Devries. We embarked on an adventure that allowed these high profile surfers to experience this amazing coast and its incredible wildlife. We experienced rivers choked with salmon and feeding grizzly bears and shared surf line-ups with whales and dolphins.

Our collaboration with accomplished filmmaker, Chris Malloy and Woodshed Films, has produced a remarkable 25-minute documentary titled GROUNDSWELL. It chronicles not only a world-class surfing adventure, but also provides a cerebral and compelling examination of an issue that embodies a great many aspects of today�s environmental challenges and opportunities: our energy future, geopolitics, aboriginal rights and title, and more. Raincoast crew and local indigenous leaders drive the narrative.
