Island filmmaker John Hopkins will be on the Island to introduce his multi-award-winning film, Bluefin, at UPEI on on March 25. Filmed in the “tuna capital of the world”, North Lake, PEI, the documentary explores the baffling mystery of a sudden abundance of tuna off the shores of eastern Prince Edward Island, despite scientific assessments claiming tuna stocks are substantially depleted. With stunning cinematography, Hopkins documents this mystery, exploring the complex issues at the heart of the story. Underlying the documentary is a shared and passionate concern for the fate of the giant bluefin tuna. The film has received rave reviews from audiences around the world, and has been awarded prizes at the 2017 Santa Barbara International Film Festival and the 2017 International Ocean Film Festival, and the 2016 Lunenburg DocFest.
