Merging scientific exploration with natural history adventure, the film showcases freshwater wildlife and environments in unprecedented detail. Over 150 days of underwater filming have resulted in a vast archive of wildlife footage, providing scientists with new insights into fish behaviours—including the first-ever recording of lake whitefish spawning in their natural habitat.

  September 30 marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. This day is dedicated to remembering and honouring the more than 150,000 Indigenous children—First Nations, Inuit, and Métis—who were taken from their homes and placed in residential schools across Canada, where their languages, traditions, and identities were forcibly suppressed. Tragically, some never returned home.    This day is an opportunity to confront the painful history and ongoing impacts of the residential school system on Indigenous communities. TVO is committed to amplifying Indigenous voices and stories through our diverse range of documentaries, podcasts, and educational resources. Explore our Indigenous content to deepen your understanding of Indigenous perspectives and contribute to the journey of reconciliation: TVO Today: https://lnkd.in/d5m3qMrR TVO Docs: https://lnkd.in/e77sU3Qq Let us all reflect, learn, and acknowledge the importance of healing and reconciliation.    #TruthandReconciliation
