A powerful new documentary from Patagonia revealing how commercial hatcheries and fish farms may lead to the extinction of wild salmon. Artifishal goes inside hatcheries in California, Washington, Oregon and Idaho to reveal the conditions of factory fish farms as well as the genetically inferior, dumbed-down salmon they churn out in massive numbers. At a wrecked net-pen farm outside of Cyprus Island, WA, nets swing in the tide after more than 240,000 diseased, drugged factory fish escaped into the wild population. In a beautiful fjord near Alta, Norway, the underwater destruction and disease caused by an open-water fish farm are seen firsthand as activists record the devastation. And along the Elwha River in northwest Washington State, wild fish return after the largest dam removal project in the United States, but the the river is once again home to hatcheries.
