Producing Nechako: Crafting Co-Production Partnerships to Elevate Indigenous Voices
Join the producers of Nechako – It Will Be a Big River Again for a conversation on the behind-the-scenes work of bringing a powerful, socially impactful documentary to life. They'll discuss their collaboration with the National Film Board (NFB) and the complexities of telling both deeply personal and community-driven stories. Learn about the intricacies of production planning, maintaining cultural sensitivity, and the challenges of documenting a community's fight for justice.
Panelists
Teri Snelgrove, Jessica Hallenbeck
Screening at DOXA Justice Forum + 40 min Q&A
Lyana Patrick returns to her home territory, Stellat’en First Nation, to document a decades-long fight for justice. Alongside the Saik’uz First Nation, her community has battled Rio Tinto Alcan to restore the Nechako River and uphold their fishing rights. Since the 1951 construction of the Kemano Dam, the river's flow has dropped by 70%—devastating ecosystems and livelihoods. Flooded lands, industrial roads, and unchecked resource extraction have only deepened the damage. Despite the challenges, this multi-generational fight for eco-protection endures. As one river keeper says, “The way of the salmon is the only way forward.”
