This made-for-tv movie recounts the true story of Simon Jackson, a young high school student who took on the British Columbia logging industry in order to save the habitat of the white spirit bear. Despite discouragement, threats and intimidation, Jackson was able to prove the bear was a genetically unique species and his victory resulted in the largest land protection measure in North American history.
