Dock-u-mentaries: Reef Assassin

Take the journey! Watch the full-feature lionfish documentary that inspired the naming of a US Congressional bill.

Meet the players – Activists are desperately trying to convince government officials to adopt an ingenious lionfish population program. But is it too radical?

Meet the people who experienced the unthinkable – People in Newfoundland who lived through a fishery collapse tell the story of how their lives and culture and economy were changed forever – and they warn US government officials not to make the same mistakes that they did.

Meet the congressman ready to fight – One determined elected official vaults the lionfish issue from the state to federal level but needs our support to turn a creative, sustainable idea into reality.
