Looks incredible, and undoubtedly important. Added to various Channels I think are related to encourage further exposure to your film. Question: who were the artists of each of the songs? And what cameras were you using to shoot this? Cheers.

I just watched your documentary at a friends house in Seattle. He has relatives that live closer to Nushagak Bay but that doesn't matter. It all connects to each other and it seems that that is the point these investors and mining advocates are blind to. They're completely insensitive to the plain facts and truth of what the generations of families that live there have to say.

This documentary does a good job showing what's there and not sounding so (even though it obviously is) anti-mining. It displays the facts and tell the story of the lives of the people that know and live in that area. The photos and beautiful cinematography tells the story. Why would you want to ruin such an amazing place like this?

More good shit from you guys - looking forward to seeing it. Really impressed with the pictures you're getting from the HVX.

This is great - I saw it at Kendal Mountain Film Festival.

Beautiful work guys..

As a Military retiree, I’ve been blessed to go to places on Earth no one has ever gone unless you just happen to live there. I had the pleasure to be stationed at Eielson AFB Alaska for 4 years and traveled to remote places. Gone to many places by boat, ATV and to look down on the many splendors looking out the boom operator’s window of a KC135 Tanker and to see a panoramic view of Moose and thousands of Caribou from high above. I know Alaskans welcome oil and gas exploration and I to approve of it also. But open strip mining, looking at the open pit copper mines south of Tucson Arizona and the water and debris that must be pumped and hauled out must go some place. Strip mining in Alaska HELL NO! I would defend that precious gem! Of all the other places especially in the Lower 48 where strip mining can be managed properly would be a viable option. But in Alaska? NO WAY! The water shed is way too fragile! And why is this an international effort? GET YOUR GRUBY HANDS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!

For a strip mine to move in, it would be like raping and pillaging a Village. A Village, where everyone knew everyone and helped one another in the worst of times. The riffraff moves in destroying Village values and the way of life passed down thru generations only to be lost to global glut and greed for another’s mineral rather than their own keeping their land intact and pristine for their generations to come. Twenty years would go by, the Villagers who once lived there are gone and so is the Village. Drugs and alcohol has replaced decades of traditions of gatherings and festivals. So gone the American Indian, so gone the Village

I have watch this video so many time and can't understand why people want to destroy that treasure. Actually I know why.
By the way Great job!!!
beautifull places.
