--Apple-Mail-14-622628421 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Very well said, Doug. I would add that the intro. in Wolfville by funder Henry Hicks made it clear that at the http:// www.salmonwars.com/ link are interviews with at least three of the experts shown in the film: Alex Morton in B.C., Daniel Pauly, and Jeff Hutchings at Dal. Univ. in Halifax. I agree with Doug that the film is very well done, sound is excellent (crucial for me), and it kept my attention for the full time of viewing. There were approximately 125+ people in Wolfville's Whittle Theatre for the showing, and then perhaps 25-30 people stayed for an interesting short question & answer & discussion session. I also got a kick out of the very end of the documentary, which showed footage of the rally of 109+ groups making up the new Atlantic Coalition for Aquaculture Reform in early June in Halifax, showed the back of my very bald head with Bob McDonald (we were representing Nature Nova Scotia and Halifax Field Naturalists, respectively) seated along the very long head table looking out at perhaps 300 assembled people. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
