7: Episode 7: The Golden Spruce

  • Summary

  • This week we take a ferry across the treacherous Hecate Strait from the mainland of British Columbia and alight on the Haida Gwaii archipelago. We follow a tumultuous story of greed, eco-activism, and terrorism as a native island legend is murdered.
