Salmo & sapiens is a documentary that explores and questions the idea that humans are superior to all other sentient beings by example of our relationship and dependence on salmon for tens of thousands of years and how that still affects us today in our present lives.

Our reality is made up of a web of stories, perhaps more so today than ever before in history. But what if one of all these stories that constitutes the world as we see it and our role in it, is based on a misunderstanding? The idea of humans as the crown of creation.
In this film, documentary filmmaker Johan Granstrand examines that matter using salmon as an example. For thousands of years, salmon and humans lived side by side in some kind of harmony and respect. The good supply of readily available salmon enabled our first settlements in northern Scandinavia when the ice sheet retreated after the last Ice Age and it contributed to health and prosperity for the next 10,000 years. Then man devastated the entire world of salmon in less than a century for the benefit of cheap electricity.
Swedish documentary from 2024 first published on Swedish Television on March 14, 2024.
