The documentary is presented in three 30 minute parts: 1) a history of tribal society and culture before the dam’s construction; 2) the construction of the Kerr Dam in the 1930’s and it’s impact on the reservation; and 3) the hopes and dilemmas of the Salish and Kootenai people as they prepare to take over the Kerr Dam during the next three decades.
