If you missed the first sold out showing of “Spawning Grounds”, you can still view this important documentary on February 8 at the UW Intellectual House, 4249 Whitman Court, Seattle WA.
Spawning Grounds chronicles a critical season in the life of the Lake Sammamish kokanee, a unique but little-known population of landlocked salmon with immense cultural and ecological importance. The film traces the efforts of Tribal educators, scientists, landowners and community leaders to work together to save this rare native salmon - known as the 'Little Red Fish' - amid unprecedented developmental pressure. Written and directed by an Emmy® award-winning team of filmmakers ,”Spawning Grounds” captures a unique and hopeful story at the intersection of urban growth and environmental preservation.
