In 2010, Enbridge applied to build pipelines linking Alberta's tar sands to the BC coast — and, for the first time, to send crude oil supertankers through British Columbia's pristine North Coast. That fall, three kayakers paddled those very waters in response. The Pipedreams Project follows their journey along a coastline that industry wanted to open to risk, turning a paddle trip into a stand for the sea. Beautiful and pointed.

Why This Film Matters: The fight over fossil-fuel infrastructure and the protection of pristine coastlines is more urgent than ever. By paddling straight through the waters at stake, these activists make an abstract policy battle vividly, physically real. As debates over pipelines, tankers, and Indigenous and coastal rights continue, this film's on-the-water witness remains strikingly relevant.
