The plight of the Snake River's salmon population, nearly extinct due to four federal dams, is at the heart of this compelling narrative. Steven Hawley, a journalist and passionate advocate for river conservation, presents a case for dam removal, highlighting the conflict between power companies and various stakeholders, including Indian tribes and fishermen. He connects the river's health to local economies and energy independence, challenging the perception of hydropower as a sustainable energy source. The grassroots movement he describes emphasizes that restoring salmon requires simply water and access to their natural habitats.
