David Byars Documents Malheur Occupation

AMELIA TEMPLETON / OPB
Protesters in Burns, Oregon in January, 2016

When news broke of the occupation of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Eastern Oregon, documentarian David Byars knew he had to go there with a camera. The result was 'No Man's Land,' a chronicle of the 40-day occupation by public land advocates who saw federal land policies as an infringement on their liberty.

Byars joined Idaho Matters in studio to discuss the making of his picture, which debuts on Idaho Public Television on Monday evening.
