RED GOLD Premier at the Tides

The Gig Harbor Fly Shop will be hosting premier showings of RED GOLD on Wednesday, February 3rd and Thursday, February 4th from 7-9pm at the Tides Tavern in Gig Harbor. Tickets are $5 and all proceeds will go to benefit the Sportman's Alliance for Alaska. Tickets can be purchased at the Gig Harbor Fly Shop or on their website. I'm told they will have some great door prizes as well as happy hour prices on food!

RED GOLD is a documentary by Felt Soul Media about the Bristol Bay region of Alaska and giant open pit and underground mines that are being proposed at the headwaters of two of the largest sockeye runs in the world. The mine has the potential to be a huge environmental disaster despite promises by Northern Dynasty Minerals and Anglo American, the two mining giants involved in the project. The types of mining proposed have poor environmental track records especially in areas as fragile as Bristol Bay. The proposed mine area is the second largest deposit of gold, copper and molybdenum ever discovered and has an estimated value of over $300 billion so there is a lot at stake.



Felt Soul Media also produced RUNNING DOWN THE MAN (a great flick about beach fishing Baja if you haven't seen it). Check out their website www.feltsoulmedia.com.
