How much longer do wild salmon have? Join us for a screening of Artifishal, a feature-length documentary that explores the damaging effect that humanity has had on the wild salmon population, driving them closer to extinction. The documentary highlights the interdependence of the communities that depend on salmon runs not just for food but as a part of their culture. It also shows the role politics and commerce play, and how they seem to outweigh the importance of ecosystem preservation.

Countries have tried to rewild rivers by populating them with mass produced farmed salmon. The strategy has made a bad situation, worse. After the screening, marine experts will be discussing farmed fish, our declining fish stocks, and how which fish we decide to eat can actually help. The student organisation ESA and Aġenzija Żgħażagħ will be facilitating the discussion.
