Presents
Two films from opposite sides of the Earth. The Last Ocean directed by Peter Young on The Ross Sea and Chasing Ice from director Jeff Orlowski on the receding Arctic glaciers.
The Last Ocean
guest appearance from director: Peter Young
The Last Ocean is a documentary directed by Peter Young, one of the country's leading nature cameramen and a key figure in the international movement to end fishing in the Ross Sea. Facing depleted fisheries everywhere else the fishing industry has found its way south to the last pristine marine ecosystem on earth and to the Antarctic toothfish. The fishers plan to remove 50% of the adult toothfish from the Ross Sea and in doing so will destroy the natural balance of Earth's last untouched ocean. Environmentalists, commercial fishers and governments are going head to head over this issue, which raises the question: do we fish the last ocean or do we protect it?

Chasing Ice
dir. Jeff Orlowski
Chasing Ice is the story of one man's mission to change the
tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet.
Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived
the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band
of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary
time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year
record of the world's changing glaciers.
