Movie Details: At the headwaters of the Kvichak and the Nushagak Rivers of Bristol Bay, Alaska -- home of the two largest remaining sockeye salmon runs on the planet -- mining companies Northern Dynasty and Anglo American have proposed to extract what may prove to be the richest deposit of gold and copper in the world. Telluride filmmakers Ben Knight and Travis Rummel spent 70 days in Bristol Bay documenting the growing unrest among native, commercial and sport fishermen who oppose the proposed Pebble Mine as well as giving mine officials a chance to argue their case. The open pit and underground Pebble Mine could require the largest dam ever constructed to contain toxic runoff from mine waste. Reg Gold is a portrait of a unique way of life that would not exist if the salmon did not return with the Bristol Bay's tide.
