  70 years in the making\, Nechako is a feature-length documentary about 
 Indigenous resistance to the damming of the Nechako River by Rio Tinto A
 lcan\, a global mining conglomerate. Built in the 1950s\, the Kenney Dam d
 iverted 70% of the river into an artificial reservoir\, decimating local s
 almon populations and severely impacting the lives of local Stellat’en a
 nd Saik’uz Nations. This film documents their decades-long fight to rest
 ore their river and a way of life.\n\n"The story of the Kenney Dam is one 
 of resistance and restoration\, of the intimate connections between the he
 alth of the land and the health of the people. What the Nechako Nations ar
 e seeking is a role in the stewardship of our lands and waters\, something
  denied to us for generations."\n– Lyana Patrick\, filmmaker\n\n"Nechako
  is more than a story of the past—its compelling narrative allows the a
 udience to listen\, witness\, and act."\n- Ashley Kim\, Stir Magazine
