Summary: Two films look at the plights of two very different communities engaged in very similar fights for survival against mineral industries. When clouds clear: Set in the isolated cloud forest of the northern Andes Mountains, this award-winning documentary delves into one remote community’s radical resistance to a proposed copper mine that would level and destroy their way of life forever. Red gold: At the headwaters of the Kvichak and the Nushagak Rivers in Bristol Bay Alaska–the two largest remaining sockeye salmon runs on the planet–mining companies Northern Dynasty Minerals and Anglo American have proposed to extract what may prove to be the richest deposit of gold and copper in the world. Documenting the growing unrest among native, commercial and sport fisherman, this film is a portrait of a unique way of life that won’t survive if the salmon don’t return with Bristol Bay’s tide.
