Hadwin's Judgment

Hadwins Judgment is a spellbinding and visually stunning account of environmentalism, obsession and myth set in Canadas Pacific Northwest.

The film chronicles the tormented transformation of Grant Hadwin from expert logger to environmental terrorist, a man who dared to challenge the destruction of the worlds last great temperate rainforest.

Hadwins one man crusade culminated in a perverse and outrageous act of protest that was, in itself, a crime against nature.

The film interweaves speculation, myth and reality to explore his motives, taking us on a journey into the dark heart of resource extraction, a journey that ends with a mysterious discovery that made Hadwin not just a madman, but also a visionary.

Inspired by the award-winning book The Golden Spruce by John Vaillant, Hadwins Judgement has received two nominations for the Canadian Screen Awards 2016, for Best Feature Documentary and for Best Cinematography.

A gorgeously photographed, compulsively watchable and deeply sympathetic film that avoids dates, maps and biography in favour of myth and mystery. Globe & Mail
