What are the risks from genetically engineered fish to the people and environments of the Pacific Northwest? New Canoe Media tackles this question head-on with their new short film Salmon People.

Sit in to hear from the voices across the Pacific Northwest who are speaking out about the risks of genetically engineered fish.
