Clip description

As a response to the greenies blocking the logging operation, the loggers blockade the greenies so that when they leave to obtain supplies and water, they are preventing from returning.

Curator’s notes

An interesting irony is captured on film as the loggers create a blockade to prevent protestors from returning. Filming events as they happen is challenging for filmmakers as they need to be on stand by for long hours to make sure they capture the best moments in the story.
