Currents of Connection: Naknek 2026 Young Adult Filmmaking Workshop

This June, six young people in Naknek, Alaska, picked up cameras and told their own stories about the place they call home. Currents of Connection brought together Bristol Bay young adults for a weeklong film intensive exploring their connection to wild salmon. The skills they learned and stories they made speak for themselves.
