After a mother orca carries her dead calf for 17 days, two filmmakers spring into action, joining Indigenous leaders and scientists making a final attempt to save the last 73 Southern Resident orcas from extinction. Coextinction takes audiences deep into the oceans and forests of the Pacific Northwest, connecting ecosystem collapse, centuries of injustice against Indigenous peoples, and the frontlines of the world’s most pressing environmental threats. The film aims to galvanize tangible action for a climate-just future, while amplifying Indigenous voices and movements to support their rights and stewardship of traditional territories. With a strong call to action, it is supported by a robust impact team, actively targeting audiences in Canada and the United States to build capacity of Indigenous movements and stewardship initiatives in areas surrounding the Salish Sea, Snake River and Broughton Archipelago (Cascadia Region). The film also leverages audience members who are passionate about saving ecology and saving the orcas to do a lot more — to support and act toward decolonization and social justice. Over the past 5 years, the Coextinction team has continued to strengthen relationships with all communities involved, especially with Indigenous communities and leaders. This has included these communities and leaders informing content and messaging of impact campaigns, public speaking and capacity building, as well as holding key creative roles on future projects. These relationships are important and ongoing.
