Undammed (17 Minutes)
After witnessing a massive fish kill on her ancestral home waters, Yurok tribal attorney Amy Bowers Cordalis dedicated her life to reversing the generations-long destruction wrought by the Klamath River dams. Undammed follows her journey to free the Klamath, from testifying before Congress to passing down fishing traditions within her young family. Now that the Klamath dams are finally coming down, she remains confident that the future of her tribe is bright. “It’s not a test,” Bowers Cordalis says of the largest dam-removal project in US history. “It will work.”
Aisha’s Story (62 Minutes)
“Food is the most precious part of Palestinian heritage.” Aisha Azzam and her husband started their family grain mill in Baqa’a refugee camp, Jordan, 35 years ago. Through food – harvesting, milling, cooking, and sharing – Aisha traces the story of Palestinian displacement and rebuilding family and community in exile. Aisha’s Story is an intimate glimpse of the loss, beauty, and resistance that define Palestinian lives.
