Shane Anderson

Shane Anderson is a former professional skier turned filmmaker whose documentaries—including "Wild Reverence," "Guardians of the River" and "A River's Last Chance"—have received numerous awards. Anderson won a Northwest Emmy for "The Lost Salmon" in 2023.

For the past few years, Anderson and the crew at Swiftwater Films have been documenting the largest river restoration in US history--the removal of four dams on the Klamath River. In this episode Anderson talks about the monumental task of documenting the dam removal, the importance of impact in his filmmaking, and how he finds balance in the midst of a work-life whirlwind.
