2008 LVHIFF UPSTREAM BATTLE

Documentary Feature Competition | Hawaii PREMIERE

Native Americans in Northern California fight for their salmon and the survival of their culture. An energy corporation has messed up their river with large hydroelectric dams, contributing to one of the worst fish die-offs in U.S. history. To confront their opponents, tribal members travel to Scotland and to the richest man in America. The dam owners praise hydropower as low-cost, climate-friendly electricity. Yet, the tribes on the Klamath River may trigger the largest dam removal project in the world. A long-term documentary following tribal members, utility managers, and farmers in the basin -- all fighting for water.
