Sockeye Salmon. Red Fish
Sockeye, a species of wild salmon, is born in Kamchatkan waters and spends its entire life in the Pacific Ocean. Only once does it return to fresh waters - to give offspring, start the circle of life, and die. It is an inexhaustible resource that feeds billions of people on the planet, restored every year!

Ms. Diagnosed
An intimate and personal film about the most urgent public health issue we face, which asks at its core – do we value women? And perhaps more importantly – how much do women value themselves?
Ms. Diagnosed takes the #METOO movement into the medical world, uncovering the nearly lethal misdiagnosis of three women due to a faulty system of science created by men, for men.
