Wiebo’s War tells the story of a Christian community at war with the oil and gas industry. Wiebo Ludwig is a suspect in a series of pipeline bombings near his farm. The bombings echo a campaign of sabotage he waged 10 years ago: barricading roads and blowing up wells, culminating in the unsolved death of a teenaged girl. The Ludwigs live according to their religious values. They are self-sufficient in food and energy, but isolated, with seven unmarried adult children and 38 grandchildren. They believe that those who don’t share their beliefs, like filmmaker David York, are living in a terrible darkness.
Producers David York, Bryn Hughes, Nick Hector, Bonnie Thompson
