Not a Day Goes by: Remembering Hells Canyon (2011)

Talk to almost any rancher who once lived in America's deepest gorge and you are likely to hear the phrase 'not a day goes by.' What made living in Hells Canyon such an unforgettable experience for the child growing up in a place where the chief prepositions were 'up' and 'down'? For the young bride seeing her new home from the back of a one-eyed mule named Jack? For the young man returning to the Canyon, searching for meaning after the devastation of World War II? Weaving 16mm film shot in 1942, contemporary video footage, and interviews with fascinating women and men who lived on the isolated ranches of Hells Canyon from 1920's to 1980s, this film documents an enduring love of place.
