To the Tar Sands

Directed by Emmy award winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Jodie Martinson.

To the Tar Sands (Canada, 2008) was selected by the UWSA Bike Lab, screened to a sold-out crowd at the Calgary International Film Festival and was selected for the DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver. 

The film follows a group of young environmentalists as they cycle over 1,300 kilometres northbound across Alberta to witness the impacts of Alberta’s tar sands boom firsthand.
