Unexpected Things Come Together on the River (6 min, USA)
A short film produced by American Rivers about the removal of Marmot Dam on Oregons Sandy River. Local citizensincluding the mayor, the dam owner, a teacher, a fisherman, a kayaker and a business ownertalk about why restoring the rivers health is important. The film also captures the excitement of this time in the Pacific Northwest as we anticipate major river restoration efforts on other rivers like the Elwha, White Salmon, and Rogue. (Amy Kober, 2007)
River Ways (85 min, USA)
Explores the lives of regular working people affected by the issue of whether to remove four dams on the Snake River in Eastern Washington. Environmental groups and fishing interests criticize the dams for their negative impact on salmon populations, but agricultural communities dependent on the dams oppose efforts to remove them. Combining interviews with careful everyday observation, and set against the scenic backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, River Ways takes us into the world of tribal and commercial fishermen, wheat farmers, salmon advocates and more. What emerges is a complex portrait of an issue that reaches to the heart of the ideological differences that characterize and divide the Pacific Northwest. (Colin Stryker, 2007)
