Every 3rd Thursday Meaningful Movies Ballard will be screening a free documentary related to sustainability at the Center for Spiritual Living Ballard. In July we will be showing Fish War.

At the height of the Fish Wars, the civil rights of the region’s first inhabitants were violated with clubbings, tear gas, arrests and confiscation of fishing gear—all in disregard of the treaty rights their ancestors secured during the formation of the United States. FISH WAR sheds light on those issues and the ways treaty tribes continue to fight for their treaty-protected right to access salmon.

We will be joined for our post-film discussion by NWIFC Chairman Ed Johnstone who notes, “In western Washington, the treaty tribes, we’re still here. This is the story of our lives. It’s an emotional journey.”

The movie is free and welcome to everyone. For more information and to RSVP (optional) visit: https://sustainableballard.wildapricot.org/event-6239438
