Franklin López<p>12 days, thousands of kilometers dodging potholes and cynical corporate PR—from Nehirowisiw Territory to Kanehsatake, swing through Wemotaci, then Mashteuiatsh—just to film land defenders giving CN and the clear-cutting psychopaths the one-finger salute. This clip, They Stopped the Train to Defend the Forest, is a taste of our full doc Defenders of the Forest, dropping soon and free for your solidarity screenings.

Franklin López<p>Bon, 12 jours à parcourir le soi-disant Québec dans tous les sens – Camp Souveraineté, Kanesatake, Wemotaci, retour à Camp Souveraineté, puis hop, Terre Inu, et enfin Mashteuiatsh – juste pour voir des actes de résistance autochtone badass contre l’avidité forestière. Premier épisode de notre série vidéo, et je vous préviens : ça va dépoter. Montage complet en docu bientôt.</p><p>Ne vous inquiétez pas, demain la version anglaise débarque. Et évidemment tout est en français… sauf la partie qui sera en anglais demain, parce que oui, je suis un génie de la logique linguistique. 😉</p><p>En juillet 2025, des défenseur·e·s de la terre innu·e·s et nehirowisiw·e·s, membres de l’Alliance MAMO, ont bloqué les voies ferrées du Canadien National entre la Mauricie et l’Abitibi pour stopper l’extraction massive de bois sur leurs territoires non cédés. Malgré la présence policière, les blocus sont restés pacifiques, ancrés dans une volonté de protection du territoire et de la forêt boréale. Amplifier Films était sur place, à Wemotaci et Mashteuiatsh, pour documenter cette action de souveraineté autochtone.</p><p>🎬 Restez à l’écoute pour notre documentaire à venir : Les défenseur·e·s de la forêt<br>👉 <a href="https://amplifierfilms.ca/fr/foret" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">amplifierfilms.ca/fr/foret</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/R%C3%A9sistanceAutochtone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RésistanceAutochtone</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Souverainet%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Souveraineté</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StopLogging</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmplifierFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmplifierFilms</span></a></p>
