The bay's pristine environs provide as many as 30 million salmon each
year to the indigenous and commercial fishers who depend on the salmon
that travel there to spawn in the rivers, lakes, creeks, and headwaters
that would have been threatened by the toxic-waste tailings and water
extraction connected to the mining venture.
Independent Alaskan journalist Joshua Tucker directed We Can’t Eat Gold (45
minutes) and has been travelling with his doc since last year to
various film festivals for screenings and discussions. His effort looks
mostly at the aboriginal communities and their people, the ones whose
way of life would be destroyed as a result of adverse environmental
effects from Pebble.
