Overview
Clearcut is a 1991 Canadian film categorized as a horror, thriller, drama, and western. Directed by Ryszard Bugajski, the production features actors Graham Greene, Floyd Red Crow Westerman, Ron Lea, and Michael Hogan. The narrative follows a white lawyer whose personal values are challenged after he fails to win a legal appeal intended to stop a logging company from clear-cutting Indigenous land. Following this defeat, the lawyer is paired with an angry Indigenous activist named Arthur. The activist insists on kidnapping the head of the logging company to demonstrate the consequences of the firm's environmental destruction. Arthur takes the lawyer and the kidnapped logging mill manager into the forest. Once there, the lawyer finds that his previous rhetoric regarding the punishment of corporate greed is put into brutal action by Arthur. The film explores the tension between these characters as the activist attempts to teach the manager the price of his actions. The motion picture has a runtime of one hour and thirty-eight minutes and received a United States release on August 28, 1992.
