Sea of Shadows - 65 min

The vaquita, the Gulf of California harbor porpoise, is the smallest cetacean in the world. It is also the most threatened with fewer than 15 left. The porpoises are caught in the nets that are set out to harvest the swim bladder of the rare totoaba fish. This film documents the efforts of scientists, activists, the Mexican Navy and undercover investigators as they fight back against the illegal activities of Mexican cartels and their Chinese backers.
