The Grand Salmon

Following three women on a 78-day paddling expedition, “The Grand Salmon” explores the effects of four dams on the Lower Snake River and their impact throughout the watershed on rapidly dwindling wild salmon populations. For over 1,000 miles, these women navigate the same waterways wild salmon have for generations, connecting the source of the Salmon River to the Pacific Ocean. From high water to extreme temperatures, this team not only faces the same natural challenges the fish do each year, but brings viewers along to experience what the construction of these dams has done to our ecosystems and wildlife.

Post-film panel discussion with Hailey Thompson, “The Grand Salmon” Producer, Cinematographer and Expedition Team Member, Scott Catton, Upper Weber River Project Manager, Trout Unlimited, and Rhea Cone, Conservation Director, Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter. Lewis Kogan, Executive Director, Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter, will moderate.

Presented with Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter for Earth Day as part of the Reel Community Series. Admission is free!
