THE ISLANDS AND THE WHALES Feature Documentary

East Coast Premiere

This stunningly photographed film focuses on the people of the North Sea’s remote Faroe Islands who have survived for centuries on the ocean’s bounty. Most of their food, including native birds and whale meat, still comes directly from the hills and waters around their rocky homeland. But now, mercury in the whales, changes in the environment and anti-whaling activists are affecting their ancient way of life. — Mark Page
