Films

Chignik Forever

All of the partner communities involved with the Alaska Coastal Cooperative are facing challenges in the face of climate change. This film is set in the Chignik area, where the first of several fishing disaster declarations occurred in 2018. Since then, Chignik has been working to redefine its economy and adapt to change. The film highlights these challenges and the residents' resolve to carry on in the face of a changing environment and socio-economic factors.
