A short film documentary exploring the plight of the endangered Maugean skate – an ancient species worth saving.
The film follows protagonist, Spencer Hitchen, a young environmental advocate and educator, as he explores the plight of the Maugean skate and the incredible stories of connection, art, and conservation that come with saving a species on the brink of extinction.
This screening is open to all but we would absolutely love to see secondary students and their families attend. There will be a follow-up Q&A session (via Zoom) with Jess Coughlin (Senior Skate Campaigner - Environment Tasmania) and Spencer himself!
