Screening

The Islands and the Whales

6:30pm–8:00pm

Join the Weston County Library for a free public screening of The Islands and the Whales. Part of their A Universe of Stories Summer Reading programming.

On the isolated North Atlantic archipelago of the Faroe Islands, the longtime hunting practices of the Faroese are threatened by dangerously high mercury levels in the whales, decimated seabird populations, and anti-whaling activists. The Faroe islanders consider themselves a canary in the mine, their tale a warning to the rest of the world. Winner, 2016 DOC NYC Grand Jury Prize.
