The Road to Webequie is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Tess Girard and Ryan Noth and released in 2016.[1] The film profiles the Webequie First Nation, a remote Nishnawbe Aski community in Northern Ontario, and the potential impacts both positive and negative of the Ontario provincial government's plan to build the community's first all-weather road access as part of the Northern Ontario Ring of Fire mining development.[2]
The film had its world premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.[3] It was a shortlisted Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Short Documentary Film at the 5th Canadian Screen Awards in 2017.[4]
