Awakening the Skeena
An epic journey. A fragile wilderness under seige. An uncertain future and a call to action.
In the summer of 2009, Ali Howard became the first person to ever swim the 610km length of the Skeena river from its birthplace in the Sacred Headwaters to its mouth at the Pacific Ocean. Independent film maker – Andrew Eddy of Double Haul Productions Text Here just finished putting the finishing touches on his documentary film, ““Awakening the Skeena” of Ali Howard’s journey and will launch a regional tour that begins in Iskut on April 7th, 2010.
