2010 FESTIVAL
12 min.
Filmmaker: Brent Balalas.
The Bering Sea is one of the wildest and most productive ecosystems on the planet. The tribal Aleut people living on these islands have lived in harmony with this ecosystem for generations. But today, the Bering Sea, its ecosystem, and the people who depend upon it for survival are in danger. Overfishing and modern trawling methods threaten the Sea and all who live there.
