Nechako: It Will Be a Big River Again

The film documents the ongoing struggle of the Stellat'en and Saik'uz Nations against the environmental impact of the Kenney Dam, built in the 1950s. The dam diverted 70 percent of the Nechako River into a reservoir, severely affecting local communities. The film captures decades of resistance, including legal battles with the Canadian federal and provincial governments and Rio Tinto Alcan. It highlights the efforts of community leaders, Elders, and members to restore the river and their traditional way of life, presenting a poignant narrative of hope and resilience in the face of industrial and governmental opposition.
