In partnership with the Estuary & Ocean Science Center .

One day in Quebec, a baby beluga whale washes up on a gravel beach along the St. Lawrence River. Unexpectedly, she is vigorously alive. A scientific team decides to take unusual steps to try to save her.

The story of this baby whale leads us on a larger journey through the amazing world of the St. Lawrence beluga whales and of the scientists who have worked for decades against long odds to help them. Like the story of the baby, it is a tough trip in a beautiful place, a true tale of drama, uncertainty, camaraderie, hard work, achievement, perseverance, and love, brightened by a glimpse of hope. Watch the trailer.

Tickets are $9. Doors open at 6pm, and the film starts at 6:30pm. Attendees are invited to bring their favorite movie snacks with them, as there will be no concessions.
