Dick Goin and his family have been fed by the Elwha River's salmon since migrating to Washington's Olympic Peninsula during the Dust Bowl. Dick has never forgotten his debt to the fish — who have been steadily disappearing.
A pulp mill worker and master fisherman turned salmon advocate, Dick uses his memories and persistence to battle for the biggest dam removal project in U.S. history.
His goal: bring the salmon home.
Says Galvin: “Uniting science and art through storytelling is an undeniably powerful tool. I know that one story like The Memory of Fish can change the story for many other rivers. The Elwha's story is one that stays in your bones. The film reminds viewers what they want to do with their own lives, their purpose. It encourages people to take a harder look around them, to think further ahead, and to never stop fighting for what you love."
