Join us for a screening of three short documentary films from Original Pursuit and Plumb Productions about two iconic threatened species of the Pacific Northwest – the Southern Resident Orcas and the Chinook salmon they depend on for survival. The trilogy highlights transboundary and collaborative efforts of First Nations and non-profit organizations and features PSF partners at Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance and Raincoast Conservation Foundation.
We’ll be joined by the filmmaker, Jessica Plumb, who will introduce her collection of films and participate in a lively panel discussion after the screening alongside the Pacific Salmon Foundation team and other special guests.
There will be a screening in Victoria on October 14th, 2025 at the Vic Theatre and a screening in Abbotsford on October 30th, 2025 at the Abbotsford Arts Centre.
To make this event accessible to all, tickets are available by donation – please donate what you are able to. Your donation supports PSF’s efforts to restore wild Pacific salmon and their habitats in B.C. and the Yukon.

Shared Waters, Shared Crisis reveals the role of habitat restoration, traditional indigenous fishing practices and marine guardianship on the US/Canada border, exploring the interconnected ecosystems of the Fraser River, its estuary and the vital role of these ecosystems at the heart of the Salish Sea.
