Salmon Confidential Revealed

Salmon Confidential is a documentary released in 2013, both written and directed by Twyla Roscovich. It was received with mixed reactions and given a 7.6 rating on IMBD (“Salmon Confidential (2013) - IMDb,” n.d.). The film followed biologist Alexandra Morton as she traveled throughout British Columbia (BC), hoping to solve the issue as to why there had been such a drastic decline in wild salmon in the province.

The outline of this International Development course (INDEV 101), allowed the participating students to explore the various theoretical and practical approaches to critical development issues that different countries face. This course consisted of a divide between informal lectures and case studies. Often, these case studies were introduced to the class by guest speakers or by educational documentaries.
