Yukon Kings (0:07) 2012

Yukon Kings, a short documentary filmed in the Yukon Delta, opened the Environmental Film Festival at Yale tonight.  A Yup'ik fisherman, Ray,  teaches his grandsons how to fish salmon during the summer run. At one time, the salmon would weigh up to thirty pounds, now the heaviest fish are half the weight. It is Ray's hope, realizing the weather and climate are changing, is that his grandsons will be able to teach their grandchildren. Yukon Kings was a great short to kick off the festival.
