SUMMARY:Nechako
DESCRIPTION:As part of its programming\, the VIFF Centre will host a screen
 ing of:\n\nNechako: It Will Be a Big River Again (Lyana Patrick | 2025 | 
 90 min)\n\nNechako is a crucial documentary from Lyana Patrick that follo
 ws two Indigenous Nations fighting for our collective future. When the Ken
 ney Dam was built in the 1950s\, it diverted 70 percent of the Nechako Riv
 er into an artificial reservoir\, severely impacting the lives of local St
 ellat’en and Saik’uz Nations. What followed were decades of resistance
 \, including legal actions against the Canadian federal and provincial gov
 ernments and Rio Tinto Alcan\, a subsidiary of a global mining conglomerat
 e.\n\nNechako follows the people fighting today to restore a river and a 
 way of life: Nations going up against industry\, community leaders advocat
 ing for their people\, Elders documenting their histories and community me
 mbers living off the land. An urgent call to action\, Patrick’s film ask
 s what survival looks like when it serves everyone\, in a story 70 years i
 n the making—a story of hope and resistance against all odds\, amidst la
 rge-scale environmental destruction and despite the will of powerful insti
 tutions.\n\nFind more information and purchase tickets here.
