Lindsey Grayzel (also credited as Lindsey Goodwin-Grayzel) is a documentary filmmaker from Portland, Oregon. She started as an editor in 1994 then became producer and director in 1999.[1]
While filming for her documentary The Reluctant Radical,[2] she was arrested and charged with criminal sabotage and other felonies while filming a protest break-in at the Trans Mountain Pipeline in Skagit County, Washington in October 2016,[3][4] the same day as another filmmaker was arrested at a Keystone Pipeline site in Pembina County, North Dakota.[5] According to The Guardian and Filmmaker magazine, Grayzel was outside a fenced area filming the protest inside a no-trespassing area.[3][6] Filmmaker also reported that Grayzel was subjected to a strip search before being jailed.[6] Charges against Grayzel were dropped the next month.[7]
