24Mins
Vladimir, a scrappy-but-aging Russian marine mammal biologist, unexpectedly hitch hikes aboard a boat filled with adventure photographers out of a desperate need to return to his science monitoring stations. Two weeks before, his boat was lost to the explosion of the Raikoke volcano. He is on a mission to help protect the Kuril Islands before his age fails him, and so the team sets out in one of the most remote volcanic island chains in the world to help Vladimir.

In sharing Colleen's perspective, we are given a glimpse into native views on issues of water resource management, which are often missing from larger discussions of western water challenges.
