During the late 1980s and the1990s, a small, dedicated group of activists fought on the ground and in the courts to stop clearcutting, oil and gas drilling, and ATV use in the Shawnee National Forest located in Southern Illinois.
They won the support of their community and the struggle in court.
17-years later, the injunction was lifted by the court, and the Forest Service resumed logging.
Will our Illinois treasure be despoiled? How do we keep the forest standing?

Set in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, LOVE IN THE TIME OF FENTANYL is an intimate, observational look beyond the stigma of injection drug users, revealing the courage of those facing terrible tragedy in a neighbourhood often referred to as ground zero of the overdose crisis in Canada. As the number of overdose deaths reaches an all time high, the Overdose Prevention Society (OPS) opens its doors — a renegade safe injection site that employs primarily current or former drug users, its staff and volunteers save lives and give hope to a deeply marginalized community as the overdose crisis rages.
