Back in January 2018, The Scuba News Canada published the trailer of “I am Salmon”, a video by Peter Mieras, about the importance and life cycle of wild Pacific salmon.
Since that time “I am Salmon” has won two awards. The first one was in Romania at the International Short Stop film festival, and the second was in Morocco at the International Festival of Environmental Films of Chefchaouen. At the San Diego Undersea film exhibit, “I am Salmon” came in second place in audience choice on one of the evenings of the presentation.
I am Salmon was filmed around the Alberni Valley, British Columbia and tells the story of the pacific salmon and their impact with the Tseshaht First Nation. Willard Gallic Sr. a Tseshaht member narrates in part, in his traditional language, and explains the story of the salmon’s span and their interaction with humans and wildlife.
