關於我: The Logger loves trees. The Protester loves trees. The Firefighter loves trees. The Star loves trees. The Tree Sitter loves trees. The Executive loves trees. The Waitress loves trees. Nothing is ever clear cut in writer/director Mark Leiren-Young's film about logging and the environment. These seven inter-linking monologues from different perspectives on the logging industry and the environment will challenge you, as each character transcends type and clichés forcing you to think and feel outside your skin. Will you side with the Logger or the Protester? The Waitress or the Firefighter? None of them or all of them?
Jarringly confrontational yet relentlessly passionate and funny, The Green Chain examines how the conflict between economics and the environment is defining, dividing and destroying communities in Canada and around the world. Yet within all of this conflict there is a driving need to listen and understand why there is no simple solution. The isolation of each character within their environment demonstrates how each is a cloistered yet dependent unit. Yes, like part of a chain. Like the one that environmentalists use to attach themselves to trees and also akin to the kind that saws through them at an alarming rate. Now the real question is do you love trees? Because stars Brendan Fletcher (Tideland), Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) and Babz Chula (7 Times Lucky) clearly do.
NOTHING IS EVER CLEAR CUT.

Calcutta sounds like a fable in a song, but in reality, it is where John, my colleague and successor, was murdered. He was on the job for only three days when he got his throat slashed. As an undercover investigator targeting the illegal wildlife trade, especially in tiger parts, his real name was unknown, even to me, nor mine to him. We were just John and James to each other. All I know is that he was Chinese American, while his predecessor James - real name Anthony Marr - is Chinese Canadian, and how sincere he was in helping to save the Bengal tiger from being poached out of existence, while its habitat continues to dwindle due to human pressure.
It would have been me who got killed had I not been called to the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh - the "Tiger State" - to investigate a dreadful wave of poaching which wiped out10 of their 40 tigers in 12 months. What John and I were after was the identities of the trading party/ies, the location/s of the loot, and the routes and means by which it was transported to its destination, usually China. Once these were uncovered, we would inform police, who would then go and make arrests and seizures. How we did it is confidential. Suffice to say that we were both posing as Chinese buyers...
