Film: Return of the River

Return of the River offers a story of hope and possibility amid grim environmental news and features an unlikely success story for environmental and cultural restoration. This story is about the Elwha River in Washington State and individuals who would not give up on a river, mirroring the tenacity of salmon headed upstream to spawn. It is a narrative with global ramifications, exploring the complex relationship between communities and the environment that sustains them. The camera soars over mountain headwaters, dives into schools of salmon, and captures turbines grinding to a halt; as the largest dam removal project in history begins. The film features people and perspectives on all sides of the Elwha debate, reflecting the many voices of the Elwha valley.
