Presented by UF’s International Ethnography Lab
A documentary project directed by Francisco Campus-Lopez about Laguna SanIgnacio, the last pristine gray whale breeding ground and nursery on the PacificCoast of Baja California. The laguna was the focus of an unprecedented successful international campaign to stop a proposed Mitsubishi- Mexican Government salt works there a generation ago and continues to be a site of innovative community-based sustainability efforts. Recently, the project expanded, bringing on Xiye Bastida to connect the whale lagoon project that started a generation ago to the challenge of climate change facing this generation.
Join us for a preview screening, followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Francisco Campos-Lopez and climate justice activist Xiye Bastida
