Undamming Klammath
A series of century-old dams that have all but annihilated California’s Klamath River Watershed will be demolished in 2023/24 due to an ongoing, multi-generational, indigionous led effort which defied the faceless corporate and governmental wardens to make way for the largest dam removal and river restoration project the world has seen; a beacon for a new era of water management not a moment too soon.
Set against the backdrop of the largest dam removal and river restoration effort the world has seen. We will follow the ongoing multi-generational, indigenous-led effort to restore the Klamath River and its wild salmon runs that have been the source of nourishment, culture, and spirituality since time immemorial. During this decades-long battle, the tribes have formed alliances with commercial fisherman, conservation groups, and farmers to take on the Warren Buffet-owned corporate power company responsible for these dams. As these activists near the explosive rewilding of this river, the questions remain; Can the river, salmon, and its people become healthy again? If so, can this effort set forth a new restorative vision where communities across the earth work with nature and natural processes to build community and ecological resilience in the face of a rapidly changing world?
