When the Ke nney Dam was built in the 1950s\, it diverted 70 percent of the Nechako Ri ver into an artificial reservoir\, severely impacting the lives of local S tellat’en and Saik’uz Nations. What followed were decades of resistanc e\, including legal actions against the Canadian federal and provincial go vernments and Rio Tinto Alcan\, a subsidiary of a global mining conglomera te.\n\nNechako follows the people fighting today to restore a river and a way of life: Nations going up against industry\, community leaders advoca ting for their people\, Elders documenting their histories and community m embers living off the land. An urgent call to action\, Patrick’s film as ks what survival looks like when it serves everyone\, in a story 70 years in the making—a story of hope and resistance against all odds\, amidst l arge-scale environmental destruction and despite the will of powerful inst itutions.\n\nFILMMAKER LYANA PATRICK WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE FOR A POST-SCRE ENING Q&\;A\n\nTrailer: https://vimeo.com/1092268270\n\nFor more inform ation and to reserve your free ticket\, go to https://thecinematheque.ca/f ilms/2025/nechako-will-be-big-river-again ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/12 /Nechako_keyart_16x9-scaled.jpg CATEGORIES:Free Event,Nechako,Screenings LOCATION:The Cinematheque\, 1131 Howe Street\, Vancouver\, British Columbia \, Canada GEO:49.2786872;-123.12652079999998 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1131 Howe Street\, Vancouve r\, British Columbia\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Cinematheque: geo:49.2786872,-123.12652079999998 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Vancouver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Vancouver BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
