Quotes
"It was absolutely superb! You captured not only the
essence of the basin, but of rural America." Jeffrey Stoffer, managing editor for American Legion Magazine.
"You have captured the essence of our souls". Wilma Heiney, 2nd generation Tulelake farm family.
"It shows the wide range of emotions felt by the Tulelake
homesteaders in the past century, from the joy and hope felt when World
War I veterans began to build a future from scratch, to the pain and
sense of betrayal felt when the U.S. government took their water away in
2001." Dan Keppen, executive
director Klamath Water Users Association:

"This should be seen on PBS!" Doris Bowen,
area resident, former superintendent at the Lava Beds National Monument.
"This video tells a compelling story about people, and the communities
they built. This, not the headlines and misguided accusations, is the
reality of the Klamath Project.
Paul Simmons, KWUA attorney.
"Great film… (it) gave me much more perspective that I
originally had."
Leslie Lowe, Klamath Audubon Society
member.

A Klamath Basin Experience
This 60-minute video shows a magnificent landscape, wildlife, a
year of seasons and farming, with historic and family photos to tell a
100-year story. Nationally renown photographer and filmmaker Anders
Tomlinson, and Jacqui Newkirk Krizo, Tulelake homesteader's daughter, made
this documentary. Over 70 Tulelakers have participated in this project, and
16 local businesses sponsored it. Lars Larson, Portland radio KXL talk show host,
and locals Bill Quinn and Mildred Tofell, narrate the documentary.
