Once a Braided River, a new documentary by Barbara Bernstein, tells the story of how the North Reach of the Willamette River was transformed from a braided river, rich in biodiversity and home to many bands of Indigenous people, into an industrial sacrifice zone with a ten-mile-long superfund site running from downtown Portland to the river’s confluence with the Columbia River.
