Dear Friend of the National Parks,

Celebrate Bristol Bay wild salmon with a FREE screening of Red Gold, winner of top honors at independent film festivals worldwide. Meet Alaskans fighting to protect clean waters, traditional lifestyles, and renewable resource-based economies from an industrial gold and copper mining district. Discover why Alaska's real treasure is Red Gold.

Every summer, Bristol Bay's wild sockeye salmon race for spawning grounds in and around Lake Clark and Katmai National Parks. Red Gold captures local subsistence, sport and commercial fishing families sharing their thoughts and fears about how the proposed Pebble Mine may transform one of the world's last remaining intact wild salmon fisheries. Decide for yourself: is it worth the risk?
