Counting Orca
A tribute to the endangered southern resident killer whales and the man who began the census to protect them, "Counting Orca" is a cinematic archive of a community fighting to survive against the odds of time and the clock of life itself. This story shares the interwoven history the southern residents have with humans and the hope that Dr. Ken Balcomb created for their future.
The Exhibit
After the film, guests will be given exclusive after-hours access to Orcas: Our Shared Future, NHMU’s current special exhibition. They will also have the opportunity to interact with scientists, gallery interpreters, and the “Counting Orca” filmmakers. There will be live music, and a photo backdrop to commemorate the occasion.
This event takes place at NHMU.
