The Lost Salmon

Dir: Shane Anderson, USA, 58 Min, Language: English, HIFF Classification:12.

Of all the Pacific Salmon, the spring runof chinook is the most revered. As thefirst salmon to return home each year,they have always been a sacramentfor the oldest civilizations in NorthAmerica and the keystone of Northwestecosystems. Once occupying the mostextensive range of any salmon speciesin the United States, many geneticallyunique populations of spring chinookhave already been lost. Thosethat remain face a looming risk ofextinction as habitat loss, short-sightedfisheries management, and climatechange continue to take a toll on theirnumbers.In The Lost Salmon, filmmaker ShaneAnderson set out on a two-yearjourney across Washington, Oregon,California, and Idaho to documentsome of the last wild “springers”,the historical and ongoing causes oftheir declining numbers, and theirprofound relationship to the peopleand places of the Pacific Northwest.Along the way, Anderson tells the storyof a recent scientific breakthroughthat provides crucial new insightsinto salmon genetics and offers animportant path forward to help savethe king of salmon before they are lostforever.
