CAUGHT 2.0 film screening and community building

As part of the 2022 Wildscreen Festival's official selection, this short documentary by environmental alliance Age of Union reveals the critical impacts of dangerous fishing methods and dolphin bycatch off the coast of France, while the French government does little to intervene. Through a raw, unfiltered look at boots-on-the-ground activism by the Sea Shepherd crew of the M/Y Age of Union, the film also pinpoints the potential catastrophic ripple effects of overfishing, jeopardizing sustainability for all life on earth in the foreseeable future. Watch the official trailer.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with film contributors Dax Dasilva, Founder of Age of Union, and Will Allen, Cinematographer and Photographer. They will be joined by Trevor Swerdfager, Practitioner-in-Residence in the School of Environment, Resources, and Sustainability and Prateep Nayak, professor in the School of Enterprise, Enterprise and Development. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Sarah Burch, professor in the School of Geography and Environmental Management and Executive Director of the Waterloo Climate Institute who will also be taking questions from the audience. Guests are invited to a reception following the screening. 

Seating is limited. Please RSVP before September 8.
