The Radicals Film - Nelson @ The Civic Theatre

West Kootenay EcoSociety is proud to present The Radicals, a film by Beyond Boarding, this February in Nelson and Rossland. Extreme sport meets indigenous activism in this provocative film that explores our collective responsibility to the lands on which we recreate. Get your tickets here.

The movie follows an active group of snowboarders and surfers who drift away from their respective sports into the world of frontline activism in a journey along the West Coast of Canada. Honouring the stewards of this land since time immemorial, they join land defenders fighting for the protection of their traditional territories, including all its living inhabitants.

According to Tamo Campos, film director and grandson of famed environmentalist David Suzuki, “The Radicals takes its audience beyond the slopes and beaches and challenges outdoor sports enthusiasts to reflect on their relationship to the land.”

An official selection of the Banff Mountain Film Festival (2018), the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival (2018), Whistler Film Festival (2018), and the Wild & Scenic Film Festival (2019), The Radicals is an adventure worth witnessing. Purchase your tickets here.
