🎬 Free Screening + Live Q&A EventA Deadly Invader Destroying People’s Lives… Tenacious Scientists Equally Determined To Defeat It
Join us for a powerful documentary that uncovers the mystery behind the near disappearance of the most prized fish in the Great Lakes—the largest freshwater ecosystem on Earth. This ecological collapse devastated jobs, businesses, towns, tribal communities, and First Nations across Canada and the United States.
While overfishing, dam building, and industrial dumping had already taken a toll, fish began vanishing even in remote areas. Scientists discovered the culprit: the most destructive marine species ever to invade the Great Lakes. Their relentless efforts to control it continue to shape the region’s economic future and offer a global warning about the sustainability of natural resources.
