# Event Details - **Event Name**: Orca Action Month Film Series: Resident Orca & Lime Kiln State Park and the Killer Whales - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: The Stewardship Network of the San Juans presents the third evening of the Orca Action Month Film Series — a free double bill at San Juan Island Grange that begins at home on the shores of Lime Kiln Point and travels to Miami, where a Southern Resident killer whale spent more than half a century waiting to return. "Lime Kiln Point State Park and the Killer Whales" celebrates the iconic relationship between Lime Kiln Point — acclaimed as the best place in the country to observe whales from shore — and the Southern Resident killer whales that return to its waters every season to hunt Chinook salmon. The film traces the park's rich natural and human history, weaving together the story of the land, the sea, and the endangered community of J, K, and L pod orcas that have made the Salish Sea their home for thousands of years. "Resident Orca" (2024, 97 min.) chronicles the decades-long fight to free Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut — known to the Miami Seaquarium as Lolita, and to her advocates as Tokitae — from captivity. Captured as a 4-year-old calf during the 1970 Penn Cove mass capture on Whidbey Island, she spent more than 53 years performing in what was widely described as the smallest killer whale tank in North America. Directed by Sarah Sharkey Pearce and Simon Schneider, the film follows an unlikely coalition united by a single mission: to bring her home to the Salish Sea. A Q&A following the films will feature Marcia Henton Davis, who served as Tokitae's trainer and caretaker at the Miami Seaquarium from 1987 to 1995 — one of the few people to develop a genuine close bond with the orca over her decades in captivity. Marcia was later invited to join the effort to bring Tokitae home to a sea sanctuary in the Salish Sea, and is the author of Pretty Colors – Nice Day and Unfathomable. ?
