Salmon Wars: Aquaculture, Wild Fish and the Future of Communities
This much-anticipated documentary (70 mins) by award-winning author, columnist and educator, Silver Donald Cameron, and Chris Beckett, is an eye-opening and wide-ranging exploration of net cage salmon aquaculture and its social, economic and environmental impact on the communities where it operates. The film surveys industry representatives, community activists, scientists, environmentalists and politicians, including Nova Scotia’s Minister of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Environment. Financed entirely by citizen donations and designed for free distribution on the internet, Salmon Wars probes not only our stewardship of the oceans, but also the alliances between industry and government, the ability of local communities to influence their own futures and the health of democracy in Atlantic Canada.
