At 7:30 p.m.

"Breach" - documentary screening
with Filmmaker Jonny Zwick 

Iceland is one of only three nations that continue to harvest large whales commercially. Last year, Icelandic whalers killed 137 fin whales and 38 minke whales, according to WDC. Fin whales are listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In his documentary Breach, Jonny Zwick examines this archaic and controversial practice, that pits defiant nationalistic whalers against a growing whale watching industry and conservationists from around the world. .

Jonny Zwick is a filmmaker from Santa Barbara, CA. Growing up along the coast, he felt a connection with the ocean at a young age. After graduating from the University of Colorado with a journalism degree in 2011, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in television, working as a producer on shows for the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and A&E. Jonny’s passion for filmmaking derives from an inherent desire to tell fascinating stories that inform and promote awareness through his own personal experience with the world. He takes pride in creating meaningful relationships with people who have important stories to tell and uses his camera as a key to gain access and open doors that would otherwise be closed. In 2013, Jonny was informed that endangered Fin whales and Minke whales were being slaughtered for commercial gain in Iceland. Shocked and baffled by the continued practice, he quit his job, rented out his apartment and moved to Iceland to produce this film. His uncle, Hardy Jones, an award-winning marine life filmmaker, inspired Jonny to make Breach. 

The event is free and open to the public, held at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 3720 Stephen M. White Drive in San Pedro. 

Meet the speaker for a relaxed, no-host dinner at Puesta del Sol (1622 S. Gaffey, San Pedro). Dinner is from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Raffle! One guest will receive a free dinner! 

ACS-LA Monthly Speaker Series is held at 7:30 p.m., the last Tuesday of the month, from September through May each year in the John M Olguin Auditorium at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium.
