For the Love of Salmon

Director:  Jan Vozenilek

Under the haze of the 2017 BC wildfire smoke, Kelowna filmmaker Jan Vozenilek follows Keely Weget-Whitney, 25-year-old member of the Stl’atl’imx First Nation, as she swims 60 kilometers of the frigid, fast-moving Fraser River.

​

Stunning aerial cinematography helps her make us aware of the depleting number of wild salmon and the impact this has on her culture and the environment.
