Let's not screw this one up

The Breach
Work-in-progress screening.
Doc about salmon, the majority of which is about the fight over the Pebble Mine project near Bristol Bay Alaska. The EPA exists in order to shut down those kind of fucktards, may they prevail.
The first part of the film covers the salmon life cycle, and a lot of other issues, including pollution, dams, and salmon farming. Reading about why you shouldn't eat farmed salmon is one thing, seeing sweet little smolts covered in bloated sea lice is another thing.
Right now it's too long, and they know it. I see a great deal of potential in it and I hope that they can get picked up by a big showcase for docs like HBO. Recommended.

This one sounds awesome (and I didn't know that about the farmed salmon) -- thanks for the recommend!

Oh, yeah, farmed salmon is yuck. I covered early debates about putting pens offshore here. The background material that I had to read even back then was disgusting. I'm sorry I missed this.
