New spring Chinook documentary: The Lost Salmon
Last fall Pacific Rivers celebrated the release of The Lost Salmon, a full-length documentary film that makes a beautiful and compelling case for protecting and restoring springers. It was written and produced by filmmaker Shane Anderson, who has produced several important films with Pacific Rivers in recent years.
The Lost Salmon chronicles Shane’s two-year journey across Washington, Oregon, California, and Idaho to document some of the last genuinely wild springers, the historic and ongoing causes of their declining numbers, and their profound relationship to the people and places of the Pacific Northwest. The film follows the recent genetic research and concludes with the inspiring account of a springer stronghold today that shows what’s possible if we give springers a chance elsewhere.
Shane dedicated The Lost Salmon to “the loving memory of Jon Kurtz,” Pacific Rivers’ beloved long-time board member who left us, much too soon, last year.
