LIFEBLOOD

We live in a divided country. But solving the biggest environmental problems we face today will require overcoming divisions that have bred decades of bitterness. Lifeblood explores how four groups of people historically at odds with one another — fishermen, indigenous tribes, farmers and scientists — are moving beyond mistrust to save salmon and their ailing ecosystem in the Pacific Northwest.
