Made for the United Nations, this documentary chronicles the logging damage that has taken place in the forests of Finnish Lapland over the past 50 years. Home to the indigenous Saami peoples, these Northern old growth forests are essential to Saami reindeer herding, a traditional way of life that the Saami hope to continue into future generations. Population growth in Finland has created economic pressure - prompting migration to the Saami lands in the North. The resulting forest cutting severely depletes the lichen necessary for free reindeer grazing, and logging infrastructure disrupts the entire forest ecosystem. Made for the United Nations, this documentary chronicles the logging damage that has taken place in the forests of Finnish Lapland over the past 50 years. Home to the indigenous Saami peoples, these Northern old growth forests are essential to Saami reindeer herding, a traditional way of life that the Saami hope to continue into future generations. Population growth in Finland has created economic pressure - prompting migration to the Saami lands in the North. The resulting forest cutting severely depletes the lichen necessary for free reindeer grazing, and logging infrastructure disrupts the entire forest ecosystem. A tense conflict emerges between the alliance of Greenpeace and Saami activists, who in 2005 set up a "Forest Rescue Station" in the woods to stop the cutting, and logging workers, worried about losing their jobs, who create their own "anti-terror camp" in response. The situation becomes dramatic as those in the "anti-terror" camp continually assault the Greenpeace workers with noise and threatening behavior. Last Yoik in Saami Forests? implicates the state-owned logging company Metsahallitus in the exploitation of Saami resources, and shows that the Finnish government has done little to preserve this natural resource. The film explores possible economic alternatives to logging, such as tourism, as well as more efficient uses for Lappish timber than paper pulp, fuel or railways stocks - the wood is an excellent building material that could be commanding a higher price. The issue of indigenous land rights is the heart of the problem, and as of the completion of this film in 2007, it remains unresolved.

While specific to the Sayisi Dene, the film provides an excellent introduction to complex issues of politics, land rights, cultural ecology and processes of cultural destruction and rebirth that are of widespread concern in the circumpolar Arctic. This powerful film produced from a Native perspective, has won many awards in recognition of it's exploration of the history and current circumstances of the Sayisi Dene, a people of the ecological and cultural borderlands between tundra and forest in Canada. While specific to the Sayisi Dene, the film provides an excellent introduction to complex issues of politics, land rights, cultural ecology and processes of cultural destruction and rebirth that are of widespread concern in the circumpolar Arctic. It is a well-integrated film using historical photographs, archival material and contemporary film records that, together with the strong testimony of the Sayisi Dene people themselves, combine to provide a positive statement of human potential."

This unforgettable film chronicles one man's fight against the ecological devastation of Malaysian Borneo's ancient rain forest. Fourteen years ago Bruno Manser from Switzerland walked into the jungle to live with the Penan tribe, an indigenous isolated native people. He adopted their lifestyle and stayed with them for four years, keeping an illustrated diary. Bruno found them to be the paradigm of Rousseau’s Noble Savage: good people solving problems together in a social community where everything was shared and no antagonism existed between the members. The Penans are one of the last nomadic tribes on earth and have been living in this forest – said to be 160 million years old – for thousands of years. They are now struggling to survive amidst the destruction of the forest over the last ten years by Malaysian logging businesses. Ninety per cent of the trees have been stripped and the water supply is ruined. It is evident that the rituals and lifestyle of the tribe will not last long in the denuded forest. Deforestation has wiped out not only a way of life, but also Penan history. Over the past ten years in Switzerland Bruno worked to raise the world's consciousness about the destruction. He returned when the Penans sent him a tape smuggled out of Borneo which said 'Come back now if you want to see us alive. If you don't come now there will be no Penan people or forest left.' On his return, he resumed his place in Penan society, but was being hunted by Malaysian logging businesses and the government as a 'trouble-maker.' Since May 2000, Bruno has been missing. It is clear that his involvement gave the tribe the courage to stand up for their rights and fight back. College Adult
