Movie Monday: One Fish, One Community

Each week, we share short films created through See Stories programs. These films highlight stories of place, culture, and community from across Alaska.

This week, we’re continuing our Currents of Connection series with a film about a family tradition that has spanned six generations.

In Six Generations: Many More to Come, Naknek student Audrina Pacheco brings together four generations of commercial salmon fishermen to share what fishing has meant to their family, their community, and their lives.

For them, fishing is about more than the harvest. It’s about memories, family, working together, caring for the water, and passing knowledge on to the generations ahead. A film by Audrina Pacheco, produced during the 2026 Currents of Connection youth media workshop in Naknek.

Made possible by generous support from the World Wildlife Fund and the Bristol Bay Economic Development, with partnership from Native Movement, Bristol Bay Media, the Naknek Native Village Council, and the Bristol Bay Museum.

🎥 Watch Six Generations: Many More to Come on the See Stories website. and stay tuned for more films from Currents of Connection.
