Sea of Slaughter  (1989)

Wessex Water award for conservation, 1990

Sea of Slaughter, based on Farley Mowat's best-selling book of the same name, documents five hundred years of greed, waste and bloodshed that has resulted in the destruction of wildlife on Canada's eastern seaboard.  The first European explorers encountered a virgin paradise, teeming with vast populations of seals, whales, seabirds, walrus and fish - thought to be inexhaustible and now devastated by man's exploitation.  It is a story that continues to this day (1990).

Winner of Wessex Water conservation award at the Wildscreen Film Festival "Golden Panda" awards ceremony, 1990
