The Grand Salmon Film Screening

Welcome to The Grand Salmon Film Screening!

Join us at the Reynolds School of Journalism, Room 101, for an evening with alumna Brooke Hess, producer, cinematographer, and core expedition team member of The Grand Salmon. Brooke, cofounder of Ripple Skip Collective, is a master’s graduate from RSJ, and collaborated with two other women to bring this important story to life.

The event is organized by the Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science, and will feature the film screening followed by a Q&A with Brooke Hess.

More about The Grand Salmon:

Following three women on a 78-day paddling expedition, The Grand Salmon explores the effects of four dams on the Lower Snake River and their impact throughout the watershed on rapidly dwindling wild salmon populations. For over 1,000 miles, these women navigate the same waterways wild salmon have for generations, connecting the source of the Salmon River to the Pacific Ocean. From high water to extreme temperatures, this team not only faces the same natural challenges the fish do each year, but brings viewers along to experience what the construction of these dams has done to our ecosystems and wildlife.
