Impact Preview Event: The Way of the Whale

Following climate activist Xiye Bastida, The Way of the Whale tells the story of the gray whales of Laguna San Ignacio, a pristine nursery along Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. Tracing the whales’ epic migration from Baja to the Arctic, the film revisits the campaign that halted a massive industrial salt project and protected the lagoon, now considered one of the great environmental success stories of our time.
