Damnation is now available on Netflix. Pretty good film. They hate on hatcheries a bit. Good Elwha footage. Btw, I have no affiliation with Netflix or damnation.

Watched it yesterday. Interesting film. As a fisherman I'd love to see all dams on the Columbia gone, BUT.... as someone who lives in the PNW I appreciate the relatively inexpensive electricity provided by those very same dams. There is NO simple solution.

Seen the trailer pop up here and there, but never had a chance to see this film til now. Watched it with LMWS just now and eyes and ears were transfixed. We could not turn it off for even a second.

This is truly a visual MASTERPIECE of cinematography!

The narration is BRILLIANT.

The message CRYSTAL clear.

Hat's off to the brave and passionate people making these things happen and kudos to the folks raising awareness through these documentary films. Risking their reputations, their jobs, and even their lives to make a bold statement.

Matt Stoeker is a stud! Yvon Chouinard is the model of sensible corporate environmental awareness!

Well done... WELL DONE!

Any way to see it other than Netflix?

Netflix is cheap, but if you have torrent file capability and are a pirate...

Pirate Bay

I am pretty proud of the Susitna piece making the final cut. The clip on the Susitna made the film because I reached out to Ben, Travis and the gang when I first heard about the Damnation project. They were nearing the final stages of the film project and when I first spoke with them they didn't think they would be able to work a trip to AK before they wrapped it up but were interested.

After some further discussion and getting those guys up to speed on the scale of the Susitna project, they made a trip up and work with the Susitna River Coalition and made a huge effort to get some footage and get it into the film at the last minute. It was an awesome victory for us and a great way to get some more word out on this awful proposal that the state is pushing in earnest.

We (the coalition) showed it on a big screen here in town to a sold out crowd and it received a standing ovation.


Hey Coley, I'll bet this was a welcome Christmas gift from the new Guv....

Indeed! It seems like the new governer is onboard to shut the ridiculous project down. We will all breathe a little easier when the proposed budget is signed off. Things are looking great for now. Now onto the proposal to dam the Talkeetna...

Getting it from all angles and both barrels.
