To the Orcas with Love

This film is available to watch, with a rental fee, on Vimeo.

A filmmaker’s relationship with orcas inspires her to restore a loving relationship with herself and this remarkable planet.
Stories of personal connections with orcas, beautiful cinematography featuring B.C’s resident orcas, and an evocative soundscape composed by Jeff Rona and Ben MacDougall provide an uplifting contrast to the environmental challenges we face. Inspired by elders including environmentalist and CBC Broadcaster, David Suzuki, whale researchers Alexandra Morton and Paul Spong, totem carver Wayne Alfred, and lifelong resident of the Broughton archipelago Billy Proctor, this film is anchored by Rob Stewart’s invitation to rise up and create the world we dream for ourselves.

It becomes clear: “What we do to nature, we do to ourselves.”
