Tuesday, October 2 at 9 pm on KRCB TV in the North Bay. The Eel River in Northern California is arguably the best opportunity for wild salmon recovery on the entire west coast. The river and salmon have weathered decades of overfishing, abusive logging, catastrophic floods and droughts, and a hydro power dam that diverts water out of the basin. Today the Eel River's recovering wild salmon compete for water with the region's multi-billion dollar wine and underground cannabis industries of Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. This film is rooted in the belief that we can live symbiotically with our watersheds and encourage both a river?s recovery and economic future.

He traces fascism's history from its roots in the turbulent aftermath of World War I, when masses of angry people rose up, to the rise of charismatic leaders who manipulated that anger, and the totalitarian societies they built. Rick chronicles the brutal measures the leaders used to enforce their ideologies, and discusses the horrific consequences of genocide and total war. And yet despite all this, inspiration can be found by those who resisted. Along the way, Rick visits poignant sights throughout Europe relating to fascism, and talks with Europeans whose families lived through those times.
