For over 50 years, four federal dams on the Lower Snake River have driven salmon and steelhead runs toward collapse, with devastating consequences for the Southern Resident Orcas and the entire Pacific Northwest ecosystem. The Snake and the Whale exposes the political maneuvering, misinformation, and environmental injustice behind one of the most critical river and dam debates in the United States.
This film is a call to action, a chance to confront the truth about the Lower Snake River dams and the future of salmon, orcas, and the communities connected to them.
Discover the untold story behind these dams and the fight to protect the wildlife and people who depend on this river.
