“Fairy Creek” opens with heartbreakingly beautiful footage of Canadian forests—ancient trees, birdsong, flowing rivers, centipedes crawling on moss, and bright green frogs. Fairy Creek is a minuscule bit of wilderness real estate; the last holdout and sanctuary of pristine old-growth forest. It contains an enormous degree of biodiversity.
