Movie Night - International Development Week
Event Information
About this event
Join us on Tuesday Feb 4 in Carleton 139 at 6pm to celebrate International Development week with a movie night sponsored by Atlantic Council for International Cooperation!
We will be showing the film "The Whale and the Raven", in partnership with Planet In Focus. A discussion will follow the film lead by Ramona Nicholas (Kcihcihtuwinut, Knowledge Keeper) of the Mi'kmaq-Wolastoqey Centre!
Film synopsis:
"With the permission of their hosts from the Gitga’at First Nation, Wray and Meuter have established a base of operations in British Columbia’s Hartley Bay, where they have discovered a marine corridor of unique solitude, its natural silence perfectly suited to sonar-reliant humpbacks and orcas. Or so it seems, until the approval of a natural gas tanker route threatens to disrupt the waters and drive the whales away. At once intimate and majestic, The Whale and the Raven is a multifaceted look at yet another clash between economic and ecological considerations, and the potential ramifications for creatures of all kinds that have made this habitat their home."
