Journey into an underwater world and discover one of the American West’s most prized wild animals. “Rising from the Shadows” uses breathtaking underwater imagery to reveal the dramatic world of the cutthroat trout as they encounter fierce predators, changing habitat and the threat of hybridization with other species. Viewers will meet the scientists, anglers, and artists who are making an unprecedented historic attempt to help the cutthroat rise from the shadows of decline.
While we all celebrate helping bring back cutthroat, let’s not forget the damage from hybridization is due in large part to the massive stocking of rainbow trout by Federal and State wildlife agencies across the American West.
