About the Film “Counting Orca”
A tribute to the endangered southern resident killer whales and the man who began the census to protect them, "Counting Orca" is a cinematic archive of a community fighting to survive against the odds of time and the clock of life itself. This story sheds a light on the early research efforts to learn about the southern residents and the hope that Dr. Ken Balcomb created for their future.
This event is being hosted in partnership with the Center for Whale Research.
