Just 40 miles across the Cook Inlet from Anchorage lies the Chuitna River, one of the world’s last salmon strongholds that boasts runs of all five species of wild Pacific salmon.
Unfortunately, this unspoiled Alaskan wilderness is slated for destruction because of PacRim Coal’s proposal to develop one of the largest open pit coal mines directly through the salmon rich waters of the Chuitna River.
Chuitna chronicles the journey of conservation-minded fly fishermen who travel to Alaska’s unspoiled Chuitna Watershed to wade waist-deep into its salmon-rich waters and the fight to defeat the proposed Chuitna Coal Mine.
