When the hunt is over\, bells ring and celebrations erupt all over the islands. But due to exposure to rapidly increasing ocean pollution\, mercury is rising to dangerous levels in the whale meat. Activists want to end the whale hunts\, but the Faroese are only a tiny harbinger of a time when the entire world will face a crisis of mercury in its food supply from the sea. \nDirected by Mike Day\n\nColorado Premiere\nWinner at Hot Docs and Reykjavik International Film Festival Nominated for Best Documentary at BAFTA Scotland Colorado Premiere\nTalkBack following the film at the First Presbyterian Church\n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 4\, 2017\, 12:15 pm\nFirst Presbyterian Church\nInfo & Trailer: http://m.biff1.com/event.php?event=407\nTickets: http://www.ticketfly.com/event/1428655
