The Green Chain

Vancouver, BC - Kinosmith, Middle Child Films, Perpetual Motion Productions and Donna Wong-Juliani are pleased to announce that the Canadian distribution rights for The Green Chain have been acquired by Kinosmith.

This award winning film by Mark Leiren-Young is set for theatrical release in Vancouver on March 6 with other Canadian cities to follow. The battle between loggers and environmentalists is defining, dividing and destroying communities in Canada and around the world. The Green Chain is a powerful, funny and thought-provoking film about the conflicts between people on both sides of the battle who love trees -- and are willing to risk anything to protect their personal visions of the forest.

The Green Chain examines a community and a way of life through a series of
riveting interlinking monologues inspired by the true tales and personalities that define today's forests.

Donations to the Stanley Park Fund will be made from each ticket sold for
The Green Chain.

The film's cast is comprised of some of Canada's most heralded actors including Gemini Award winner Babz Chula, Leo Award winner for her role in The Green Chain Jillian Fargey (Mount Pleasant), Tricia Helfer and Tahmoh Penikett from TV's Battlestar Galactica, Genie and Gemini award winner August Schellenberg (Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee; The New World), Genie and Gemini award winner Brendan Fletcher (RV, 88 Minutes) and Scott McNeil
(Sleeping With Strangers).

He is an EarthVision award winner for his eco-comedy Greenpieces, and writes a column for Vancouver's alternative on-line newspaper The Tyee.
