RETURN OF THE RIVER

“Return OF the River" is a story of struggle and survival: the Huu-ay-aht First Nations and their ongoing efforts to bring back their river, destroyed decades ago by clear-cut logging and commercial fishing.  A sequel to the international award winning film "Heart of the People" (1997 Gemini nominee), this documentary traces the amazing progress the Huu-ay-aht have made in their attempts to restore their river, culture and language since embarking on this project in the early 1990's.  "Return to the River" is a powerful, emotional film which shows how strong leadership and the will of the people, can move mountains...and rivers.
