DOCUTAH PRESENTS

The Snake and the Whale

Friday, November 7, 7:30pm

Over the past fifty years, four federal dams impounding the Lower Snake River in Washington
State have been identified as the root cause for the demise of all of Idaho’s anadromous fish.
“The Snake and the Whale” reveals the corrupt deals behind the dams’ construction and the
subsequent campaigns to hide their role in this ongoing ecological disaster. Additionally, the
dams have profoundly impacted a group of Killer Whales off the coast of Washington, known as
the Southern Resident Orca, which rely on Snake River salmon as a primary food supply. These
majestic creatures are now atop the Endangered Species list.
