 the film.\n\nA Sea Change\nBy Barbara Ettinger\n\nThis is the first 
 documentary about ocean acidification.  It's chock full of scientific 
 information, at the same time that it's a beautiful paen to the ocean world 
 and an intimate story of a Norwegian-American family whose heritage is 
 bound up with the sea.  This poignant film follows the journey of retired 
 history teacher Sven Huseby on his quest to discover what is happening to 
 the world’s oceans.  His quest takes him to Alaska, California, 
 Washington, and Norway as he uncovers a worldwide crisis that most people 
 are unaware of.  Speaking with oceanographers, marine biologists, 
 climatologists, and artists, Sven discovers that global warming is only 
 half the story of the environmental catastrophe that awaits us.  Excess 
 carbon dioxide is dissolving in our oceans, changing sea water chemistry.  
 The more acidic water makes it difficult for tiny creatures at the bottom 
 of the food web to form their shells.  The effects could work their way up 
 to the fish 1 billion people depend upon for their source of protein.  The 
 film is also a touching portrait of Sven’s relationship with his 
 grandchild Elias.  As Sven keeps a correspondence with the little boy, he 
 mulls over the world that he is leaving for future generations.   The film 
 brings home the indisputable fact that our lifestyle is changing the Earth, 
 despite our rhetoric or wishful thinking.  Imagine a world without 
 fish.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  
 Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n\n
