The Last of the Lookouts Plot and Cast
High atop Sinkut Mountain in northern British Columbia, Bart Vanderlinde begins each summer day as he has for nine years: scanning the forest for smoke. He is among the province's last lookout people. Where three hundred lookouts once formed an interconnected network, Bart now often keeps watch alone. The film offers an intimate portrait of a man and a profession facing obsolescence, revealing the craft of fire detection and the quiet solitude of a life lived in observation.
