In British Columbia, whole communities depend on the forest that surrounds them, and this film follows the lumberjacks who cut it down for a living. The crews take on trees up to six meters wide, winds reaching 200 kilometers per hour, and slick, uneven terrain shared with grizzly bears, all while running chainsaws and heavy machinery that leave no room for a mistake. Cameras stay close as the men fell trunks, rig cables, and haul timber down steep slopes, then follow the logs onto a tugboat for the crossing across open, unpredictable water to the mills. Interviews with the workers make clear why they keep doing a job that has killed people they know, and the landscape footage, glacier-fed inlets, dense old-growth forest, open sea, gives the danger a visual backdrop as striking as the work itself. It is a portrait of a trade built entirely around calculated risk, where a single miscalculation with a falling tree or a loose log can end a life.
