River Runner is a feature length documentary of a river system in southern Ireland that holds many secrets. This is the true story of the plight of the wild Atlantic salmon and the near catastrophic clear felling of a unique river forest. Two dams built in the 1950's killed the salmon run. 39 Irish speaking families were issued compulsory orders and their homesteads were blasted out of existence. The lands were flooded a whole community wiped out of existence for the sake of progress.This is the untold story.

The salmon shown swimming past the camera as it dips into the the water are actually CGI.

    Even though I was familiar with the story, I watched River Runner and was still blown away. A sad story really eloquently put together. I thoroughly enjoyed it. A film that will enhance many people's connection with nature and inspire action in restoring natural ecosystems. Everyone should watch this.
