The film documents her journey as she travels throughout the Pacific Northwest in search of not only the food that fills her kitchen but the people and places that make that food special. Throughout the month, Andrea fishes for tuna, stomps grapes, milks cows, harvests her pigs, hunts for mushrooms, and meets beef ranchers.

    The illegal fishing trawler “Thunder” was making dirty millions for ten years – right until the ocean activists of Sea Shepherd caught sight of it. For more than 10,000 miles the Sea Shepherd vessels, the Bob Barker and the Sam Simon, chase the poachers across international waters to put a stop to the killing of protected wild life. Chasing The Thunder is a real-life thriller in rough seas – an epic 110-day sea chase across three oceans and two seas, where an international crew and two fearless captains proof that conviction and resilience will make a difference where governments fail. Chasing The Thunder is the festival recut of Ocean Warriors, featuring the high-seas documentary about Sea Shepherd’s epic 110-day, 10,000-mile chase of the Thunder, considered the world’s most notorious poaching vessel.
