This multi channel video reflects the non-linear and artistic approach taken towards researching salmon, the ecological and economic catalyst of Canada’s West Coast region. It presents individual stories, and a collage of video excerpts culled from the interviews with Lleanna Clark, a reflexologist who worked as a cannery line worker at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery in high school; Jim Hart, a Haida Gwaii carver; Gerald Worobetz, a chef, fishing guide and home economics teacher at a local high school; Jeff Mikus, a commercial fisherman and restaurant owner; Kathryn Ricketts, an interpretative dancer and educator; Dr. Anthony (Tony) Farrell, Professor of Biology at UBC; Una McPherson, Head Interpreter at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, who lived in cannery housing; Neil Jensen, a sports fisherman who worked on commercial fishing boats as a youth and grew up in Steveston; and Ben and Elli Answerth, young tourists from Australia. People of various cultural and professional backgrounds were sought out to create a complicated and kaleidoscopic view of the region.
