 p\;\n\nMirjam Leuze\n2019 | 101 min\n\nOn the otherwise uninhabited Gil I
 sland\, just off the northwest coast of British Columbia\, the sound of wa
 ves lapping and ravens cawing is punctuated by the haunting whale calls em
 anating from a network of loudspeakers. Drawn to the rich food sources and
  quiet waters\, humpback whales\, pods of orca\, fin whales\, and porpoise
 s eat\, play\, and raise their young here\, in the Kitimat fjord system.\n
 \nWhale researchers Hermann Meuter and Janie Wray founded the Cetacea La
 b on Gil Island to study this unique marine environment. But the imminen
 t construction of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporting plant in the
  nearby community of Kitimat\, BC\, promises to bring increasing tanker tr
 affic and noise\, with unknown consequences.\n\nDirector Mirjam Leuze’s
  The Whale and The Raven illuminates the many issues that have drawn sc
 ientists\, the Gitga’at First Nation\, and the Government of British Col
 umbia into a complex conflict. As the people in the Great Bear Rainforest 
 struggle to protect their territory against the pressure and promise of 
 the gas industry\, caught in between are the countless beings that call th
 is place home.\n
