Season of the Salmon 1998

Directed by Mark Emery

From the moment they emerge, in the rivers of Alaska, salmon begin a lifelong journey. Their instincts lead them to follow the rivers, to the sea, and back to the waters where they were born to lay new eggs and die within about five years. A long, arduous journey, fraught with dangers, obstacles, and enemies to face. National Geographic guides us on this little odyssey.
