The Fish Between the Falls

About This Movie

The Fish Between the Falls is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the relationship between native people and the white sturgeon, a fish that's been around for millennia. The film’s tone is contemplative, almost poetic, as it weaves together stunning visuals of the natural landscape with the rich cultural history of the tribes. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the significance of the sturgeon in local lore and their practical uses. You get this sense of reverence for the fish, who not only fed the tribe but also inspired craftsmanship in their sturgeon-nosed canoes. The absence of a known director adds a layer of mystery, making its authenticity feel even more compelling. It's definitely a unique piece in the documentary genre.
