SEA OF SHADOWS is the winner of our 2020 Best Feature Film category and will screen at Water Docs 2020 on Saturday, November 7th as part of our Film Awards Night. Join us for an evening of celebration as we honour this year's award winners. Sea of Shadows (2019, AUSTRIA) A looming disaster in one of the most spectacular environments on Earth sparks a rescue mission unlike any other in SEA OF SHADOWS. When Mexican drug cartels and Chinese traffickers join forces to poach the rare totoaba fish in the Sea of Cortez, their deadly methods threaten virtually all marine life in the region, including the most elusive and endangered whale species on Earth, the vaquita porpoise. SEA OF SHADOWS follows a team of dedicated scientists, high-tech conservationists, investigative journalists and courageous undercover agents as well as the Mexican Navy as they put their lives on the line to save the last remaining vaquitas and bring the vicious international crime syndicate to justice.

The story of the Indigenous Gitanyow (“Git-nee-ow”) people and their struggle to protect their traditional lands and "food table" in the face of climate change, industrialization and colonization in Northern British Columbia.
