This for-profit megaproject diverted 70% of the Nechako River into an artificial reservoir\, flooding lands\, displacing wildlife and severe ly impacting the lives of local Stellat’en and Saik’uz Nations. The da m decimated salmon runs\, which are vital to the Nations’ way of life an d compose up to 90% of their diet.\n\nFast forward to the present day\, as the Nations wage a potentially precedent-setting legal battle against Rio Tinto Alcan\, the global mining conglomerate responsible for the dam. Ami dst large-scale environmental destruction and despite the will of powerful institutions\, this crucial documentary is a chronicle of hope and resist ance against all odds.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public! All g uests must check-in at the front desk to receive an admission token. The s creening will be held at the SaskTel Theatre in the museum. Tel. 306-975-7 610 or info@remaimodern.org for more info.\n\n \;\n\n"Nechako is more than a story of the past—its compelling narrative allows the audience t o listen\, witness\, and act."\n- Ashley Kim\, Stir Magazine\n\n“The sto ry of the Kenney Dam is one of resistance and restoration\, of the intimat e connections between the health of the land and the health of the people. What the Nechako Nations are seeking is a role in the stewardship of our lands and waters\, something denied to us for generations.”\n- Lyana Pat rick\, filmmaker\n\n \;\n\nTrailer: https://vimeo.com/1092268270 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/12 /Nechako_keyart_16x9-scaled.jpg CATEGORIES:Free Event,Nechako,Screenings LOCATION:Remai Modern Art Museum\, 102 Spadina Cres E\, Saskatoon\, Saskatc hewan\, S7K 0L3\, Canada GEO:52.122918;-106.667118 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=102 Spadina Cres E\, Saskat oon\, Saskatchewan\, S7K 0L3\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Remai Mod ern Art Museum:geo:52.122918,-106.667118 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Regina X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Regina BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20250627T130000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
