The documentary "The Breach" explores the symbiotic relationship between Native Peoples and salmon, which has been compromised. It highlights hopeful restoration projects, such as the largest dam removal in US history, and contrasts them with the potential threat to Bristol Bay's healthy fishery. A Canadian mining company is planning to construct North America's largest open-pit copper mine in the heart of Bristol Bay, putting the world's sockeye salmon supply at risk. The film features interviews with tribal leaders, scientists, policy makers, fishermen, artists, authors, and chefs who share a passion for wild salmon as a cultural treasure, food source, and symbol of resilience.
