Environment - Salmon Confidential

Salmon Confidential is a groundbreaking film on the Canadian government"s cover up of what is killing British Columbia"s wild salmon. When biologist Alexandra Morton discovers BC"s wild salmon are testing positive for dangerous European salmon viruses associated with salmon farming worldwide, a chain of events were set off by governments to suppress the findings. By tracking the viruses, Morton moves from courtrooms into BC"s most remote lakes, rivers and costal regions. The trail leads Morton to Vancouver"s grocery stores and sushi restaurants, where contaminated fish are being sold to the public. The film documents Morton"s journey as she attempts to overcome government and industry roadblocks thrown in her path and works to bring critical information to the public in time to save BC"s wild salmon. Salmon Confidential provides alarming insight into the inner workings of government agencies, as well as rare footage of the public officials tasked with managing our fish and the safety of our food supply.
