Events Description

 

The electrifying documentary The Walrus and the Whistleblower, produced and directed by Nathalie Bibeau and produced by Bunbury Films, follows Niagara Falls-native Phil Demers, known as the \”Walrus Whisperer\”. Phil worked a decade-long dream-job as a trainer at MarineLand Park in Niagara Falls, Ontario, swimming with killer whales and training belugas, seals, and Smooshi, the walrus he raised and trained since arriving as a young pup. Phil then quit and blew the whistle citing animal abuse, and called for an end to the 60-year-old practice of keeping marine mammals in pools. Now Phil is being sued for 1.5 million dollars from the amusement park but nothing is stopping him from his mission to #SaveSmooshi.
