A one hour documentary video on Lake Ontario “Lake Ontario A Quest For Hope” explores how the lake become the most polluted of the five
Great Lakes and what is being done to improve its condition. Using underwater and drone photography, the feature length documentary explores lake shore
marshes, views tributary fish runs, and provides
an eagle's eye view of Lake Ontario bluffs
shorelines and islands. The production team also
sets sail aboard an antique schooner to visit and
film a remote Canadian Island and its
underwater life. The video covers topics such as non point
pollution from storm water runoff, plastics and
chemicals in drinking water, invasive species and the impacts of power production on the lake.
Scientists and activists also share what has
beendone and what more needs to happen to
restore the lake's web of life to inform and inspire. “You did a great job of interweaving a wide
variety of story elements, some of them fairly
technical, while making them accessible to
'regular folks' with limited knowledge of the science” C.M. (journalist) “You take just the right tone--telling the sad truth, but mixing in examples of hope.” B. M.(professor emerita)
