Salmon Film

Below is a 15-minute, extended trailer to promote the documentary film, Dancing Salmon Home, about our efforts to return New Zealand’s McCloud salmon back home to California.

For more information and to contribute to the completion of the film, visit the Dancing Salmon Home web site. Donations can also be made through the Facebook causes group.

Dancing Salmon Home is a 60-minute documentary, still in the making, that will chronicle the Winnemem’s remarkable journey to New Zealand this spring where we were reunited with the McCloud River salmon after 70 years of separation. The film will depict the cultural connections and friendships we formed with local Maori tribes, and it will follow us as we take the first step toward returning the New Zealand salmon, which originated from the McCloud River, back home.
