Wiebo’s War

OTTAWA PREMIERE | OFFICIAL SELECTION HOT DOCS 2011 | FILMMAKER IN ATTENDANCE

Big Oil calls Wiebo Ludvig an eco-terrorist and a cult leader. He claims he’s a devout Christian fighting to defend his farm and family from the effects of toxic sour gas. This doc shows two decades of his side of the story — which stands in stark contrast to the official version told by the RCMP, the Alberta government and media.

Director David York will be in attendance to introduce the film, and for a Q&A afterwards.
