Gloria Pancrazi: On Endangered Orcas, Endangered Humans and Making Movies that Change the World
Description
Filmmaker Gloria Pancrazi (Coextinction) talks with Skaana host Mark Leiren-Young about red herrings, fishy fish farms, whale watching, whale saving and Coextinction. “Orcas are telling us something. They’re showing us something. You can learn a lot about the things we’ve got to do in the world right now by looking at these orcas."
Shownotes:
3:35 Meet Gloria Pancrazi and how the story of love for orcas turned into a mission to save the southern resident orcas.
6:12 "A lot of politicians like to blame whale watchers because then they can accept a pipeline that’s going to increase tanker traffic by seven- fold... you can go on and on about the impact of the Trans Mountain pipeline and how it's going to impact southern resident orcas."
8:38 “One of the biggest points of the movie is that everything is connected... it's hard to pick one big issue."
11:50 “It always fascinated us how the orcas are telling us something. They’s showing us something. You can learn a lot about the things we’ve got to do in the world right now by looking at these orcas."
13:18 "They are each other’s home and we’re destroying that home."
13:38 The first time she saw a whale:
15:35 Working for Cetus's Straitwatch program in Canada and SoundWatch in the US and the challenges of keeping orcas safe from small boats.
