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.
