Two former 91̽»¨ Environmental Studies students were part of the Fish Tales PEI team that made a documentary on rivers and waterways in Prince Edward Island. The documentary also features a current PhD student and a retired 91̽»¨ Biology professor. On behalf of the production crew, you are invited to join us at MacPhail Woods Nature Centre on Wednesday, August 20, at 6:30 pm for a river walk on the historic MacPhail grounds, music and poetry by Island artists, and an informative evening of discussions followed by the premiere of Fish Tales. Fish Tales is a short documentary film shot on PEI in the summer of 2013. The film explores how rivers and waterways on Prince Edward Island influence Islanders’ views on social and environmental issues. We look at current realities and challenges in our rivers, including the human impact of catastrophic events like fish kills. Through interviews and storytelling with experts from all sides of the spectrum, Fish Tales captures how Islanders interact with these areas, and their perspectives on the future of our watershed heritage. We want to highlight that many Islanders, from all walks of life, are interdependent with, and have a responsibility towards, the health of PEI's historic waterways.

The film was made possible by funding from the Environmental Coalition of PEI, and in-kind support from the Island Media Arts Co-op and the Holland College Photography and Digital Imaging Program.
