Brown, an arrestee in the Clayoquot blockades in 1993, and now a filmmaker known as "The Amphibiographer" for his aquatic videography; Tzeporah Berman, Friends of Clayoquot Sound blockade coordinator in 1993, and currently in demand as a strategic advisor for environmental and First Nations organizations; and Maureen Fraser, long time resident and business owner of the Common Loaf Bakeshop in Tofino and always active in environmental and politics in Clayoquot Sound.
