Trade Secret follows three unlikely allies on a mission to protect polar bears from international commercial trade. Filmed over six years across 13 countries, the film exposes the sanctioned sale of hundreds of polar bears each year on the global market. But as the investigation deepens, it uncovers a disturbing truth: those entrusted with safeguarding the species may be entangled in their continued commercialisation. The film raises urgent questions about how we protect vulnerable wildlife in a world where the lines between protection and exploitation have become blurred.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A discussion with director Abraham Joffe and director of Super nature, Ed Sayers.
Part of Phoenix for Nature series, an immersive season of documentaries curated to celebrate the resilience, beauty, and urgency of our natural world.
