Salmnesia - A Film
Donation protected
What is Salmnesia?
The concept of generational amnesia is often described as the reality that every generation perceives the environment in which they were born as the “norm.”
Without intentionally seeking out our own history, and the history of the planet which we’ve inherited, it becomes increasingly more difficult to understand where we are at present, where we came from, and importantly, how we want to approach a future that is pointing toward many uncertainties.
This is the story of courage, of community self-reflection, of humility, and of integrity. It is the story of generational salmon amnesia and its hopeful antidote. It is the story of Salmnesia.
We are committed to telling the story of salmon as it needs to be told, free from editorial control of any single major funder or donor. We intend to avoid any strings attached with commercial or partisan public relations strategies, and rather, simply focus on the story in the most honest and authentic way possible.
It is for this reason that we will need your help. Not to make money off of the project, but to be able to fund the necessary travels and time spent in the field and in the editing room. This story will come from the people, not from any institution’s public relations strategy. If you have enough money for a coffee or a beer, please consider contributing to the salmon cause.
If you're in a position to be able to contribute a bit more, we would warmly welcome your support. We view the human estrangement from a productive and healthy natural world as an issue that has wide ranging ripple effects, and not just ecological. We hope to convey many of these realities throughout our full feature film, which we plan on beginning this year (2022) and completing in 2023.
