  • The Salmon Forest is a 30-minute documentary film that explores the connection between
    wild salmon and life in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States.
    The film follows Alaskan salmon on their epic migration from the streams of the forest to the ocean and back, revealing the various lives they impact along the way.
    Pull in a huge catch with commercial fishermen, explore the breathtaking landscapes that draw in millions, watch as a mother bear lunges into a stream to feed her cubs, visit a native Tlingit community to better understand salmon’s cultural significance, and meet the people who work day and night to ensure this public resource is protected for generations to come.
    Filmed in stunning high definition, The Salmon Forest highlights one of the last healthy homes for salmon on Earth, and provokes a deeper understanding of this complex and beautiful ecosystem.
    Ultimately, this film celebrates the unique role public lands play in salmon production and reminds us that proper management is vital to sustain the future of commercial fisheries, subsistence, recreation, and our forests.

    And now i know the life cycle of salmon, birth on the upstream forest river, migration to the sea and going back to the place where their were born and end their life for nature.. What an inspiring video.. ❤❤

    I can't wait to see Disney make a heart wrenching Salmon fish like Nemo.
    Their longing to return back to the same place where they were born and make it their final resting place ,the struggles they face mang predators along the way ,the struggles to jump over the high cliff,their fasting for a year,the sacrifice of their life after spawning just to feed the wildlife or contribute nutrients to the eco system that birth them is just one of the most inspiring,amazing and out of this world.
    I think Salmon are the most intelligent fish I've ever known.
    I seriously hope Disney will make a hearth warming and emotional movie of a "Salmon Journey back home"
    I would love to watch

    I'm a salmon fish fan from Turkey. I'd like to thank you for the excellet job you've done for salmon. I don't know nd I'm not sure but maybe, one day, I'd like to visit Alaska's National Forest ,Tongass. I watched lots of videos / documentaries about salmon but this one was really amazing. Thank you a lot.

    It’s amazing that 94% of the streams and rivers are intact so they are really working on the last 6% for the salmon.
    Amazing video I’m an Alaskan native and actually just caught three silver salmon tonight for my mom. Love seeing the love for these fish.

      Yet if you watch this carefully you’ll see how much of the Tongass has been systematically stripped of its timber at the cost of the US tax payer to keep less than 100 people in paid employment via a couple of mills. While the rest of the raw timber gets shipped off to China.

    Hands down the most beautiful documentary I have ever watched. Thanks to all for their great work a contribution. I think we need more documentaries like these to educate people how important it is to sustain the natural ecological system rather that meddling with nature
    I salute all the people who are working in Southeast Alaska to maintain this ecosystem and ensure it stays healthy.One of the most satisfying jobs a person could ask for.

      We are all connected. I missed so much in my life until this truth.
      I cried as a child knowing the salmon, eagles and so many other things would be extinct, but I never knew why I cried.
      I've always wanted to go to Alaska for different reasons, but today I just want to go to Alaska to breathe, feel, see all there is to just be.

    . . . I had to stop and comment on this one young man as he was filled with not only emotions but the realization that most do not have and that is that we must take care of our resources for we want our future generations to not only enjoy that which we now have and runs in our veins as it is part of us for to be also part of them and theirs for generations to come for to negate this is to negate that which gives us life and a reason of a livelihood and that which without words expressed is very palpable and I felt it to the core of what he was feeling and just on that my respects to him and his wife and family all of them . ! !

    You guys have done an amazing job on this film. Each shot is visually striking and beautiful. These could easily be National Geographic quality. And really nice job on showing the overall relationship these salmon have to the local Alaskan economy and wellbeing of its citizens, and how important the salmon are to the ecosystems of the largest temperate intact rainforest (a fact I did not know before this doc).
    The only thing I wish is that narration was recorded a bit better. She has a nice calm voice, but it seems that the recording itself is slightly muffled, or the mic isn't quite angled correctly, or the mixing is off. Other than that, huge thumbs up!

    If you want to learn how to prepare, store, dry, and 101 uses of salmon bones, spend some time with the Tlingit.
    Tip: The first thing you need to figure out is Tlingit time. They don't cram things into an organizer. Kind of like island time. Set aside a few days, let them be concerned about the clock, and they'll show you the best vacation you've ever had.

    The salmon is one of the most vital species on this planet , the life it brings is one of the greatest of all resources. The life around it depends on its cycle of existence to exist. I remember in my local rivers in and around Yosemite, how are Salmon population used to be so abundant back in the 80s and into the 90s now it is so depleted you're lucky to see 20 to 30 fish a season come back into are systems. It was so awesome to walk into our rivers and get pushed aside by migrating fish , I remember catching a 40lb fish , sadly, those days are gone . America today needs to change its practice and outcome of the future of our fisheries, but it's a up hill battle because of the lack of education and willingness to protect those fisheries due to people that feel its more important to use up the waters to feed crops, livestock along with human development and Usage of such a resource. I imagine these fish will end up losing altogether, but so will the life on this planet because of greed . They need to implement laws that can not be changed in protecting waterways , fishtrees, and regulations regardless of what politicians' governments and corporations want..
