In 1983, during the bicentennial celebration of the settlement of Shelburne, Nova Scotia, by United Empire Loyalists, an old-time log drive was held on the Barrington River. This unique event was revived under the direction of Phil Scott, a former champion log roller and an articulate advocate of the sport. As well as being a spectacular visual experience, the log drive is an event of cultural and historical significance. The film brings to life this old practice of the logging industry in Canada.
