Wochiigii Lo: End of the Peace captures the five-year battle of individuals including Roland Willson, Diane Abel, and George Desjarlais as they challenge the British Columbia government's construction of a multi-billion-dollar mega-dam along the Peace River, which cuts across the province in an area largely populated by Indigenous peoples — including West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations, two of the smallest bands covered under Treaty 8. From Haida filmmaker Heather Hatch, Wochiigii Lo: End of the Peace was an official selection of the Toronto International Film Festival in 2021.
