River Ways (85m, U S A)
dir. by Colin Stryker
Starring: Ben Barstow, Frank Sutterlict and Mark Ihander
Synopsis:
“River Ways” explores the lives of regular working people affected by the issue of
whether to remove four dams on the Snake River in Eastern Washington.
Environmental groups and fishing interests criticize the dams for their negative
impact on salmon populations, but agricultural communities dependent on the
dams oppose efforts to remove them. Combining interviews with careful everyday
observation, and set against the scenic backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, “River
Ways” takes us into the world of tribal and commercial fishermen, wheat farmers,
salmon advocates and more. What emerges is a complex portrait of an issue that
reaches to the heart of the ideological differences that characterize and divide the
Pacific Northwest.
