Beyond the captivating beauty of its wild horses and windswept dunes, Sea Unseen uncovers the hidden story of ocean plastic pollution on Sable Island. Dance, music, and storytelling unite in a delicate balance of artistic expression and environmental activism, holding space for the urgent and complex issue of plastic pollution.
