OUT OF PLAIN SIGHT Documentary Film Screening Presented by SPIFFest
OUT OF PLAIN SIGHT
Directed by Daniel Straub and Rosanna Xia
USA, 2025, 1 Hour 30 minutes
From the Los Angeles Times and Pulitzer Prize-finalist Rosanna Xia, OUT OF PLAIN SIGHT is a cinematic exposé of an environmental disaster lurking just off the coast of Southern California.
Not far from Catalina Island, aboard one of the most-advanced research ships in the world, David Valentine discovered a corroded barrel on the seafloor that gave him chills. The full environmental horror sharpens into greater clarity once he calls Xia, who pieces together a shocking revelation: In the years after World War II, as many as half a million barrels of toxic waste had been quietly dumped into the ocean – and the consequences continue to haunt the world today.
Screens Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 11 a.m. at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium: Jon Olguin Auditorium.
