Invasion

About This Movie

Invasion (2019) is a raw and powerful documentary that really captures the struggle of the Wet'suwet'en Nation against the ongoing colonial violence in Canada. Directed by Michael Toledano, it has this gritty, urgent atmosphere, almost like you're right there at the Unist'ot'en Camp. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build and the viewer to reflect on the weight of these events. There’s no flashy editing or overblown dramatics here; it’s all about the real-life stories and the resilience of the Indigenous people. The performances, if you can call them that, are deeply felt and authentic—these are real lives caught in a struggle, and it shows. It’s a distinct piece that confronts the harsh realities of land rights and resistance head-on.
