New Documentary Explores the Sea Lamprey's Impact on the Great Lakes
In the early 20th century, a mysterious ecological crisis nearly wiped out the prized fish species in the Great Lakes, ruining local industries, damaging small town economies and indigenous communities, and destroying livelihoods in the United States and Canada. A dedicated group of scientists, policymakers, and conservationists tackled the mystery, and their story is now being told in a new documentary.
The Fish Thief: A Great Lakes Mystery, set for release on January 31, explores the devastating impact of the invasive sea lamprey on the Great Lakes ecosystem. The documentary features stunning footage of the Great Lakes and its inhabitants, as well as interviews with experts and individuals affected by the sea lamprey invasion.
The film will be released in Canada and the U.S. on January 31, 2025, and will be available for streaming, download, or rent on various platforms, including Apple TV/iTunes, Amazon, Google/YouTube, and Tubi.
