Greener Us: Storytelling for the Environment with Connor Gallagher

The pristine Chilkat River Valley in Southeast Alaska is a special place. In this episode, we talk with documentary filmmaker Connor Gallagher about his film, Rock, Paper, Fish that tells the story of how residents of this valley are dealing with a proposed mining operation in the mountains above Klukwan and Haines - two communities nestled along the Chilkat River. We also discuss the power of conservation storytelling, how it can shape public opinion around environmental issues, and how to make a new type of documentary that doesn't  preach to the choir.
