Documentary filmmaker Twyla Roscovich thought she was just going to make a short 10 minute video on diseased salmon for a marine biologist she knew. She ended up producing a gripping 70 minute eye-opening feature documentary.
Dr Alexandra Morton
Salmon Confidential follows Dr Alexandra “Alex” Morton on the Pacific coast of Canada, in the province of British Columbia (BC).
Morton was puzzled by the mention of viruses among Pacific coast salmon, and investigated. What she found, and the documentary shows, is the impact of factory farming of salmon, not only on the farm fish, but also on wild salmon that swam right by the farm containers on their way to spawn.

The documentary shows Morton testing fish from the wild and from grocery store shelves, and the continued silence on the issue by both the government authorities and fish industry. The concern is that the diseased farm salmon could drastically reduce the number of wild salmon found naturally off the coast.
RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda spoke to Twyla Roscovich about her documentary “Salmon Confidential” and a just released short video featuring Norwegian scientists.
