Set against the backdrop of the largest dam removal and river restoration effort the world has seen. UNDAMMING THE KLAMATH will follow the ongoing multi-generational, indigenous-led effort to restore the Klamath River and its wild salmon runs which have always been their source of nourishment, culture, and spirituality. During this decades-long battle, the tribes have formed unlikely alliances with commercial fishermen, conservation groups and farmers to take on the corporate power company responsible for these dams and are actively participating in the deconstruction of dams and the restoration of the river. 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?
