| Description: |
March Point follows Cody, Nick and Travis, three teens from the Swinomish Indian Tribe who participated in a community justice diversion program. They originally wanted to make a gangster movie but found themselves using video cameras to investigate the impact of two oil refineries on their tribal community. March Point follows their journey as they come to understand themselves, the environment and the threat their people face. Over time, the presence of the refineries has negatively affected the health of the water and land and the very fabric of cultural tradition itself. Ambivalent environmental ambassadors at the onset, the boys grapple with their assignment through humour, sarcasm and a candid self-knowledge. Making the film transforms them in ways they could not have imagined.
