Koneline: Our Land Beautiful is a 2016 Canadian documentary film, directed by Nettie Wild and produced by Betsy Carson.[1] The film explores the different lives of the Tahltan First Nations located in northern British Columbia. Through an objective lens, the audience experiences different perspectives from natives, miners, hunters, linesmen, geologists and tourists in Telegraph Creek.[2] "Koneline" means "our land beautiful" in the Tahltan language.[3]
It took four years to film and one year to edit the documentary.[3] The director, Nettie Wild, had to earn the trust from the Tahltan people. Wild gained permission by promising the Tahltan people that they could see the end product.[3] The intention of the KONELĪNE is to be "cinematic poetry" where film captures an unbiased perspective without pushing any political message.[4]
