Upstream Battle background

Upstream Battle

A powerful energy corporation threatens the ancestral way of life and sacred salmon of Native Americans, prompting a fierce defense of their land and traditions.

Fighting for their fish and culture, Native Americans in Northern California face off against an energy corporation building hydro-power dams, devastating their river and contributing to a massive fish die-off. To take a stand, tribal members travel to Scotland and the second-richest man in the US to plead their case.
