Kodiak Salmon Summer

Staring The Francisco Family, 25 minutes

Every Summer for the past 25 years the Francisco family has left their home in Kodiak, Alaska and flown out to their fish camp at Uyak bay to spend four months gillnetting for salmon. The Salmon Industry is the major industry on Kodiak Island and the Francisco’s fish for one of the local canneries. They share with us, in their own words, what life is like in this remote area of the world, separated from friends, school, stores and doctors. Living in unity with nature and contending with wildlife such as the great Kodiak bear. Long, hard days of fishing are followed by cozy evenings in the cabin fellowshipping with family. Join Leon and Judy, their children and grandchildren in what Leon calls “the real world”.
