Movie Church

  • Echoes Bellingham, WA USA (map)

Join Echoes for Movie Church! Together, we will be watching the Children of the Setting Sun film - Salmon People: Preserving a Way of Life. We’ll gather to watch a movie together and discuss it afterwards. All are welcome to join us for this showing.

Scha'nexw Elhtal'nexw Salmon People: Preserving a Way of Life is an hour-long documentary inspired by the late Chexanexwh Larry Kinley, a Lummi fisherman and tribal leader who promoted sovereignty. 

The film follows two Lummi families fishing for sockeye. As they navigate climate change and a depleting fishery, Larry asks: “Who Are We Without Salmon?”. Celebrating the resilience and adaptive natures of salmon and the people, the film is a spiritual reflection on a lifeway centered on respect and gratitude for salmon.

As a community who thinks a lot about salmon, we hope you will come think about salmon and it’s people with us at Movie Church. Snacks will be provided.
