Doc Edge Festival 2023: Seasick

Director Mark-Brown examines the devastating impact of pollution and overfishing on Auckland's Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand's only marine park. The once-thriving ecosystem is now on the brink of collapse, with sea life in decline and pollution levels rising. The film explores the potential solution of implementing traditional Maori protection methods, which could help to restore balance to the ecosystem and support sustainable fishing practices. With stunning underwater footage and insightful interviews with experts, the film is a powerful call to action to protect our oceans and preserve our natural heritage.
