24 minute documentary
“[Uncharted Waters] boasts high production values and the sort of optimistic and empowering outlook that we need more of, profiling Indigenous and non-Indigenous young people… working together to protect the environment. The screening sold out and due to popular demand we repeated the program.” — Steve Martindale, Program Coordinator, Salt Spring Film Festival
