Right Over the Edge: The Search for the North Pacific Right Whale

  • Clayoquot Sound Theatre 380 Campbell Street Tofino, BC, V0R 2Z0 Canada (map)

Monday Night Movies is partnering with Whale Fest to show a special screening of Right Over The Edge, The Search For The North Pacific Right Whale. Joined by filmmakers Kevin Campion and Lindsay Walker for Q&A.

Less than 200 years ago, North Pacific right whales thrived in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Beginning in 1835 and continuing into the 1970’s these charismatic animals were intensely targeted by commercial whaling. Today, thirty North Pacific right whales remain off the coast of North America

A group of friends has fallen in love with North Pacific right whales, the world’s rarest whale after learning about a sighting near their Seattle home. Being sailors, they put to sea to find one.

Right Over the Edge voyages with this crew out of the Salish Sea, through the North Pacific and onward into the Bering Sea and way out of everyone’s comfort zone. The more they learn about the North Pacific right whale’s tragic history and present threats, the harder they search. Believing that finding one will bring the world’s attention to a species of whale likely to go extinct if urgent action isn’t taken to save them.

Date: Monday, March 20th

Time: Doors at 7:30pm, starts 8:00pm. Raffle entry with a ticket.
