 ig River Again  (Lyana Patrick | 2025 | 90 min)\n\nNechako is a story of
  survival 70 years in the making\, beginning in the early 1950s in northwe
 stern BC\, when the Kenney Dam was built to power an aluminum smelter. Thi
 s for-profit megaproject diverted 70% of the Nechako River into an artific
 ial reservoir\, flooding lands\, displacing wildlife and severely impactin
 g the lives of local Stellat’en and Saik’uz Nations. The dam decimated
  salmon runs\, which are vital to the Nations’ way of life and compose u
 p to 90% of their diet.\n\nFast forward to the present day\, as the Nation
 s wage a potentially precedent-setting legal battle against Rio Tinto Alca
 n\, the global mining conglomerate responsible for the dam. Amidst large-s
 cale environmental destruction and despite the will of powerful institutio
 ns\, this crucial documentary is a chronicle of hope and resistance agains
 t all odds. With Nechako\, Stellat’en filmmaker Lyana Patrick follows th
 e people fighting to restore a river and a way of life.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n"Nec
 hako is more than a story of the past—its compelling narrative allows t
 he audience to listen\, witness\, and act."\n- Ashley Kim\, Stir Magazine\
 n\n“The story of the Kenney Dam is one of resistance and restoration\, o
 f the intimate connections between the health of the land and the health o
 f the people. What the Nechako Nations are seeking is a role in the stewar
 dship of our lands and waters\, something denied to us for generations.”
