THE PROTECTORS, 24min., USA
Directed by Kelso Harper, Carin Leong
This immersive film follows researchers racing to save 74 remaining southern resident orcas while federal budget cuts threaten the very science needed to rescue them. The story combines compelling on-the-water storytelling with urgent stakes: research institutions have lost significant staff and funding just as scientists were making critical breakthroughs in understanding what these whales need to survive. With both the orcas and the research at a tipping point, this is a rare story where timing truly matters
