Unalaska, AK – A screening of the Bristol Bay documentary Red Gold will take place in Unalaska tomorrow. Aurah Landau from Alaskans for Clean Water says the film was produced by Feltsoul Media and focuses on salmon and mining in Bristol Bay.

"It's a celebration of the salmon way of life in Bristol Bay. It also explores Alaskans' opinions on the proposed Pebble Mine," she says. "It's a visually stunning, beautiful film that goes well beyond the questions of the conflict of the mine and gives fair voice to commercial fishing, subsistence fishing, sport fishermen, and to mine officials."

Pebble is a proposed large-scale gold-copper-molybdenum mine planned for the headwaters of the Bristol Bay watershed.

The film makers spent 68 days in Bristol Bay last summer interviewing stakeholders and filming the life cycle of the fish.

Landau says that the film was produced independently but will be shown in conjunction with information about Ballot Measure 4, which could affect the development of new large scale metallic mines.

"A commercial fisherman from out in Bristol Bay was going to be in Unalaska talking to voters in person about the [ballot] initiative and thought, hey, we could do a showing."

Red Gold won the Audience Award and the Festival Director's Award at the Telluride Mountain Film Festival this year.

The screening will take place at 6 pm, Wednesday, August 6 at the Unalaska Community Library.
