Please watch the teaser above for our new project: The Trials of Tamara Lich. Our team is just back from out west where we filmed convoy organizers, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber as they prepared to return to Ottawa to face criminal charges. This is just the beginning and there is much more yet to film.
We’ve been given exclusive and very personal access to Tamara as she continues to fight for freedom: hers and ours. For Lich and the other defendants the convoy story is far from over.
From the first heady days of the convoy, I knew something special was happening. The jubilant and disparate crowds at small-town overpasses filled with a myriad of Canadians stepping forward to cheer the trucks signalled a possible end to the darkness and cruelty of the Covid-19 regulations. We were being driven apart and innocent people treated as only collateral damage.
Through my podcast, I was receiving weekly notes and letters from young people who were suicidal, students who were depressed, families who said goodbye to beloved elders on an Ipad. The measures were not ethically sustainable and yet few stepped forward to end it. Until the truckers.
As many of you know, I was one of the first journalists to give Tamara and Chris attention and before they reached Ottawa, we were doing Coffee with the Convoy live streams.
Now, I bring to you a Give Send Go appeal to help fund the documentary film I am producing with Jacqueline Bynon, an acclaimed documentary executive and storyteller. Before quitting films in May of 2020 to focus through my podcast on countering bad C-19 policy — I had just finished a high-profile and well-reviewed series for Amazon Studios out of LA. Jacquie and I bring decades of production experience.
Our film is about the convoy, yes, but it will also explore what’s next for people who feel unrepresented in today’s failing “democracies”. The crushing of the trucker protest by the Emergencies Act and a zealous Prime Minister who refused to engage, represents a dangerous break in trust. Where do we go from here? How will we be heard if they bring back the same mandates and lockdowns?
The Trials of Tamara Lich is the story of the diminutive woman who stepped forward into history and the movement that gave her strength. She is facing yet another showdown, this time in a courtroom.
What will Tamara’s struggle and her willingness to risk it all, mean for her future and ours?
