For our 10th anniversary, Water Docs has gathered together film festivals from across Canada to co-present a high-impact festival called ReSurge: Canadian Film Festivals for a Liveable Climate.
NOVEMBER 9 - 14, 2021
Pooling the strengths and reach of several festivals aims at recovering the pre-COVID momentum of public sentiment favouring strong action to avert climate catastrophes. Please join us on a journey of discovery during this six-day online event.
Ecologos is a 23-year registered environmental charity protecting water and a liveable climate. Our signature program, the Water Docs Film Festival, has been such a success over its 9 year history that we are now better known simply as Water Docs. This program has also created the impetus to spin off four other related programs: the Water Docs Where You Live Community Screenings program; the Water Docs at School Action Projects program; Common Earth, a base-camp training program for change agents; and ReSurge: Canadian Film Festivals for a Liveable Climate.
Dive a little deeper and read about who we are, what we do and how we do it.

Water Docs Recommends
The first video on demand platform dedicated to the future of our planet.
Our current favourite: a beautiful short (12 min) called The Whale Who Saved Me. It has a really great message about how we are all connected with nature but we have lost that connection.

OUR MISSION
To evoke a spirit of reverence for water.
To inform about threats that imperil water.
To inspire citizen action to protect water
and its many effects on climate change.
“Climate change is sometimes misunderstood as being about changes in the weather. In reality, it is about changes in our very way of life.

Every time I enter the ocean, it shows me something beautiful and unexpected. I’m looking for sharks, and a fin whale surfaces, breath bursting into fine mist. Sea lion pups encourage me to play, spinning in the water, swimming fast then turning on a dime and blowing bubbles. Floating at the surface, a comb jelly mesmerises me with rainbow bands of bioluminescence.
