This is a wonderful documentary that addresses an incredibly important topic--the endangerment of orcas and salmon in the Pacific northwest. Recommended viewing for anyone who cares about our environment.

The Snake and The Whale.’ Wow. So much to say and more so to do. With this film, John Carlos Frey and team have created a compelling cinematic reportage, that uncovers how politics are contributing to the damage of an ecosystem and it leaves audiences saddened and enraged. It’s such an effective investigative piece that you truly need to show it in as many places as possible, so that it may serve as a warning call for people to take action. Thank you for this film.

What an incredible documentary. I am so thankful for having seen this - to now understand the issue in such depth and frustration. I am a former Southern resident (NC), having been raised in the shadow of the Tennessee Valley Authority - another power generator whose impacts are deep and wide. It has been clear to me for some time that our culture needs to change its relationship to nature - it was the driving force behind my choice of a career (conservation science education). And yet, the need for others to understand this deeply is so great. I will do all I can to let others know this film is out there. It’s an important piece of journalism - and I hope it does not serve only as witness.

This is a very important movie, and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves. It sheds light on the plight of the Southern Resident Orca Whales and its primary food source, the King or Chinook Salmon. Not only that, it shows how an entire ecosystem is being destroyed simply for the sake of corporate money and greed. More people need to see it, and the dams on the Snake River MUST come down!
