Masterfully directed by Abraham Joffe (Tales by Light, Our Oceans, Big Cat Tales), and produced by Adam McKay and Sarah Beard, Trade Secret follows three unlikely allies on a mission to protect polar bears from international commercial trade.
Filmed over six years across nine countries, this multiple-award winning film exposes how the sanctioned sale of hundreds of polar bears has infiltrated the global market. But as the investigation deepens, it uncovers a disturbing truth: those entrusted with safeguarding the species may be entangled in their commercialisation.
Trade Secret raises urgent questions about how we protect vulnerable species in a world where the lines between protection and commercial exploitation have become blurred.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with soon to be announced special guests.
“A life-changing film.” - Dr. Sylvia Earle
