Red Gold, a documentary produced by Felt Soul Media and Trout Unlimited Alaska about the Bristol Bay salmon fishery and the proposed Pebble Gold Mine, will be released on DVD later in 2008. The film won the best documentary prize at the Telluride Mountain Film Festival in May of 2008. The movie explores the conflict over the proposed construction of the Pebble Mine at the headwaters of Bristol Bay. If approved, the Pebble Mine would be the world’s largest open pit mine and would threaten the Bristol Bay salmon fishery. The mining company, Northern Dynasty Minerals, contends that they can extract the minerals without harming salmon habitat. According to opponents of the mine, much of Bristol Bay’s pristine habitat will be destroyed just as Gold Rush mining activities in California destroyed salmon habitat in the Sacramento-San Joaquin watershed.
