About UNEARTH Film:
The documentary tells the story of two sets of siblings-the Strickland brothers and the Salmon sisters-alarmed at the plans for the Pebble Mine, a proposed massive open-pit god and copper mine, near their homes.
The Salmon sisters, Native Alaskans, work on the regulatory front, pushing the federal EPA to block the project, and remaining hyper-vigilant to political pressures that could shift at any moment. The Strickland brothers, independent fishermen who know they could be just one mine accident away from losing their livelihood, probe closed-door meetings to expose the truth behind what the developer tells the public.
