Description: Hunting whales is a matter of life or death for the residents of St. Lawrence, a tiny island in the Bering Sea. So, when Chris Apassingok becomes the youngest person to ever harpoon a whale for his Alaskan village, his mother proudly shares the news on Facebook. To her surprise, Paul Watson and thousands of his international followers brutally attack Chris online without fully understanding the scope of his accomplishment. "One With the Whale" is a heartwarming yet thrilling story of one family's struggle to fight against cultural genocide and environmental racism, while regaining a foothold in both the ancient and modern world.

This film is presented in partnership with Alaska Public Media and the Anchorage International Film Festival.

Free to attend. Registration is recommended as space is limited. Enter via the special events entrance on 7th Ave.
