Ancient Forest Alliance Documentary (2015)

This 2015 documentary celebrates the first five years of the Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA), a grassroots organization founded by Ken Wu and TJ Watt to protect endangered old-growth forests and promote sustainable, second-growth forestry in British Columbia. The film follows Ken Wu’s evolution from longtime forest campaigner to co-founder of an organization focused solely on protecting the last ancient forests in BC, and photographer TJ Watt’s first encounters with the giant trees and clearcuts of Vancouver Island that led to his finding of the now-famous Avatar Grove near Port Renfrew. Through stunning imagery and heartfelt storytelling, the film highlights AFA’s creative campaigns, including the nicknaming of Big Lonely Doug, Avatar Grove, and Fangorn Forest, which helped rally widespread public support for forest protection. Featuring Ken Wu, TJ Watt, Port Renfrew residents, local business owners, conservationists, First Nations, forestry workers, and politicians, the film shows how diverse allies united to defend some of the last ancient temperate rainforests on Earth. Though originally released a decade ago, its message remains timely as the fight to protect old-growth forests in BC continues and the organization marks its 15th anniversary.
