A new documentary exploring conservation and restoration efforts in Howe Sound is set for a community screening at the Bowen Island Public Library next week. Uncharted Waters, from director Molly Dennis and producer Hannah Siden, focuses on the work of several people actively working to improve life in Howe Sound for all living beings who call the area home. Filming of the documentary began on the island last year, with the final edits completing late this summer. “It’s such a big topic of restoration and conservation in Howe Sound, and there’s so many ways to tell that story,” says Dennis, who is currently in the United Kingdom. “So we tried to focus it on this new generation of stewards, this new generation who are carrying on the efforts.” Uncharted Waters’ highlighting of this new generation introduces viewers to four main characters leading the charge in this regard: Fiona Beaty, a marine ecologist, well-known Bowen artist Di, and Jonathan Williams and Nolan Rudkowsky from Squamish Nation. While the four all have their own ways of tackling their goals, a common link among them all is the Howe Sound Marine Reference Guide, a project through the Marine Stewardship Initiative.
