If you’ll be in the Monterey, California area at the end of this month, a screening of “Fatal Watch,” a film on the global tuna trade will take place with some special guests.
On Thursday, October 30, Captain Paul Watson, founder of Sea Shepherd, will attend a panel following a screening of the new documentary film “Fatal Watch.”
According to the film description:
“Four marine observers vanish at sea under suspicious circumstances, this gripping investigation uncovers why. Travelling from Fiji to Ghana, Spain to the US, this powerful film reveals the dark underbelly of the global tuna trade, where profit outweighs human life and environmental destruction is buried beneath the waves. Through exclusive footage and unprecedented access, a team of international investigators exposes the rampant criminality, cover-ups and violence tied to industrial overfishing. As the ocean’s silent guardians’ risk everything to document the truth, their stories demand action. This is a high-stakes exposé on the hidden cost of the seafood on our plates.”
Following the film, Watson will join filmmaker Mark Benjamin via Zoom to talk about the movie as well as the global tuna trade.
The event will take place Thursday, October 30 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. US Pacific Time at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies’ Center for the Blue Economy in the McCone Building’s Irvine Auditorium.
