River of Renewal

Carlos Bolado, USA, 2008, color, video, 54'
Synopsis

The Klamath water conflict pits Native American salmon fishing against farmers, commercial fisheries, and cattle ranchers. Now all of these groups are uniting to battle and negotiate with the power companies whose hydroelectric dams are destroying a watershed the size of The Netherlands. As competition for water spreads across the globe, this evolution from conflict to consensus to restoration will be the environmental pattern of the coming century. Now, all of the communities realize that economic revival can occur only if the river's vitality is restored. The Klamath tribes' traditional ethos of pikiawish fixing the world now influences everyone.
