\u201cNot long ago my partner and I traversed the vast country of America (US). This dreamy lyrical documentary muses on the subtle shifts in landscape and how land shapes culture, and how tied together these elements create a\u00a0national identity.<\/p>\n

“Debt. Underemployment. Awkward relationships.<\/p>\n

Dissatisfied with her options in the world of striving, a young deaf woman, Iris, decides to give up on yearning to connect. Instead she floats along, working at a greenhouse, embracing her silent solitude and learning to be happy with less.<\/p>\n

Everything is going just fine until she meets a precocious musician named Celeste.<\/p>\n

Beautifully shot on Prince Edward lsland, Singing to Myself is an intimate gaze into the complexity and ease of female friendship.”<\/p>\n

BLUEFIN<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"unnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bluefin is a tale of epic stakes set in North Lake, Prince Edward Island, known as the \u201ctuna\u00a0capital of the world.\u201d Local fishermen swear the spectacular Atlantic bluefin tuna are so plentiful\u00a0here they literally eat out of people\u2019s hands. But many scientists contend the species is on the\u00a0brink of collapse.\u00a0Scientific assessments indicate tuna stocks are down by 90 percent.\u00a0Can both claims be true?<\/p>\n

With stunning\u00a0cinematography,\u00a0Director John Hopkins documents this baffling mystery, and\u00a0brings the issues into sharp focus. How much of the oceans\u2019 wildlife should\u00a0we fish, and how much must we conserve? At the heart of the documentary lies a passionate\u00a0concern about giant bluefin, the key breeders capable of replenishing the decimated stocks of the\u00a0largest tuna species in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
