Airbags

Airbags’ is a narrative of power, betrayal, and environmental struggle, focusing on the intertwined lives of two families caught in the crossfire of a pipeline project in the heart of British Columbia.

Overview

Equal Films Ltd is excited to announce “Airbags,” a riveting TV series set in the contentious town of Seacrest, British Columbia, where the proposed construction of an LNG pipeline stirs deep-rooted conflict. This series will navigate the turbulent waters of First Nations rights, environmental activism, and familial legacies.

Vision

Our vision for “Airbags” is to craft a narrative that intertwines the personal and political, set against the stunning, untamed backdrop of northern British Columbia. Through the lives of the indigenous Edmundson family and the corporate Clarke family, the series aims to shed light on the pressing issues facing First Nations communities today, from land rights to the clash between economic development and environmental preservation.

Storyline

At the heart of “Airbags” is the drama between the Edmundson and Clarke families, whose histories and interests intersect and clash amidst the pipeline controversy. Gary Edmundson, Chief of the Reserve, supports the pipeline for economic reasons, while his daughter Jade opposes it, fearing environmental and cultural destruction. Their family’s internal conflict mirrors the larger community’s struggle, with the Clarke family adding complexity through their professional stakes in the pipeline’s construction.
