As convoy blockades multiplied during the COVID-19 pandemic, the RCMP conducted its most serious operation in the small village of Coutts, Alta. A judge recently found that two protesters involved in blockades were ready “to engage in a war with police.”
With exclusive access and an investigation that spanned nearly three years, The Fifth Estate goes inside the world of the accused.
