A very delicately nuanced and richly atmospheric story of a group of young protesters who've been camping at the end of a logging road deep in old growth forest for almost a year. They've built a tree-sit village and a full sized pirate ship to stop construction of the road. Producer Judy Rapley of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation joins them at the beginning of a cold, wet winter. This story airs as part of the international documentary exchange series, Crossing Boundaries.
