Echos of the Sound: The Story of Hugo and the Southern Residents (Synopsis)
In 1968, a baby orca, Hugo, was captured in Vaughn Bay and sold to an aquarium, far from his natural habitat and family. This documentary tells the story of Hugo’s capture and captivity, exploring the impact on him and his pod. The film offers a clear view of how attitudes towards orcas have changed over time, from their first captures to current efforts aimed at rescuing the southern resident orcas from extinction. "Echos of the Sound" urges viewers to reconsider our impact on marine ecosystems and support efforts to ensure Southern Residents can thrive in their home waters again.
