Invasion

About This Movie

Invasion is a stark, urgent documentary that digs deep into the ongoing struggles faced by the Wet’suwet’en Nation. Director Sam Vinal captures the raw emotions and intense atmosphere surrounding the Unist’ot’en Camp and Gidimt’en checkpoint, where Indigenous peoples are standing their ground against relentless colonial encroachment. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of each moment, each protest, each act of resistance. The film doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of the situation, but it also showcases the resilience and solidarity of Indigenous communities. The practical effects here are more about the real-life consequences and the undeniable strength of a people fighting for their land and rights, which creates a powerful viewing experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
