Free Event!
Sea Shepherd Australia's crew is excited to be back and host a free screening of the award-winning film "Chasing the Thunder" at Nhulunbuy Town Hall.
“CHASING THE THUNDER” – A high seas documentary about the 110-day chase of the Interpol purple noticed illegal fishing vessel the Thunder. Sea Shepherd’s Captain Peter and Captain Sid follow the Thunder for 16,000 km through Antarctic Icebergs and through the Southern Ocean storms, through the Indian Ocean and East African waters and the South Atlantic.
For over three months and across oceans, Sea Shepherd crews stalked this fugitive fishing boat considered the world’s most notorious poacher.
It was an epic game of cat and mouse, the ships maneuvered through an obstacle course of giant ice floes, endured a cyclone like storm, faced clashes between opposing crews and nearly collided in what became the longest pursuit of an illegal fishing vessel in history.
