Directly Affected – National Tour
Following two successful events, Directly Affected hits the road in a cross-continent tour
Raincoast has teamed up with two Vancouver filmmakers, Zack Embree and Devyn Brugge, to produce Directly Affected, a documentary profiling the exclusionary NEB process. From First Nations to Burnaby homeowners to Chilliwack fishermen to Gulf Islands residents, the film tells how we are all directly affected.
The first two events as part of the tour occurred in mid-January at Simon Fraser University and on Pender Island. Both were a rousing success and have set the tone for the rest of the tour.
We’re excited to announce that we have now secured support to begin a national tour of the Directly Affected film! As we develop our web series, Where We Live, we will continue to help return the conversation to the public and provide a platform for individuals and communities to be heard. Tour locations will include Calgary, Ottawa and Montreal. We also have more events planned for the lower mainland and a screening kit coming soon.

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.
We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
