In majestic cinematography, DamNation explores the change in our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers. Where obsolete dams come down, rivers bound back to life, giving salmon and other wild fish the right to return to primeval spawning grounds. Nearby Matilija Dam is featured. Film produced by Patagonia, Inc.
