Sea otters return to California’s coast, helping restore kelp forests and balance to the ocean.

Off California’s coast, sea otters are making a quiet comeback and with them, the vital kelp forests they help protect. These playful, furry animals keep sea urchins in check, allowing underwater forests to grow, forests that store carbon and shelter countless marine creatures. This heartwarming and educational film follows otters, divers, and scientists in their mission to restore balance to the ocean. For curious minds of all ages, fun, cute, and full of ocean wonder.

The screening is followed by a talk with director Hendrik S. Schmitt and writer Claudia Schmitt.
