Fi lm Fest i val

A n eveni ng of Explor ati on and Conser vati on!
J oin your community for a screening of Mission Blue! This
ambitious film tackles the daunting challenge of how to protect
the global ocean that is now under attack as never before. As a
witness to changes that have occurred in the ocean over the
past 60 years, Dr. Sylvia Earle is a steadfast warrior, who is
leading the charge to restore the ocean to health before its too
late.

Mission Blue shot during a 3-year period in numerous
locations around the world traces Sylvias remarkable personal
journey, from her earliest memories exploring the ocean as a
young girl to her days leading a daring undersea mission in the
Virgin Islands and beyond. The film deftly weaves her unique
personal history with the passion that consumes Sylvia today:
creating a global parks system for the ocean that she calls
Hope Spots.

This event will also highlight the work of young
people in the field of ocean conservation
through a screening of student created ocean
conservation short films, and exhibits
highlighting youth-driven ocean conservation
projects and artwork.
