About the Film:
The Spirit Who Swims is a feature length documentary and love manifesto to Salmon, foregrounding its spiritual and material importance to Indigenous peoples along the Fraser River.
There are two economies that live along the waterways; the monetary economy driven by capitalism and profit, and the Indigenous economy driven by a symbiotic relationship with what swims in the rivers and grows and walks on the land. The Spirit Who Swims highlights this ‘clash of cultures’ by focusing on the spiritual significance the Salmon has for Indigenous peoples along the Fraser River.
Through stunning aerials and vivid underwater cinema, we join the Spirit Who Swims as they travel over 1000 kilometers on their annual migration route from the ocean to their spawning grounds in the lake and streams of the mountains. Along the way, we encounter Indigenous people in four unique, riverside communities, and learn of their deep connection to the Salmon and the struggles endured by each.
