Experiencing Interruptions?

My Fishy Friends * Trailer

My twelve years of being friends with wild lake fish in Quebec.
As a child, I never believed a person could become friends with wild lake fish. Now for the last 25 years I have been studying the wild fish in the lakes of Quebec. This is a documentary about this experience that also includes other historic perspectives regarding various water theories and other Historical Fish Gods on this planet dating back 4000 years. Such as Jesus was known as the Fish. It also contains some secrets about water and other interrelated stores by a variety of friends in the area.
So, for these last ten years I stayed in one town and became really good friends with numerous Small Mouthed Bass, Sunfish and the Catfish. They come to me when I call them and allow me to hold them and they swim with me.This is something that few people have imagined to be possible.
All of this happened because of my partner Byron Ayanoglu, a swimming fanatic. So when he died our only children were these fish. Before his death he encouraged me to continue so... This movie is dedicated to him.
This is a documentary about this experience that also includes the arrival of the predatory catfish that have decimated the sunfish population of the lake.

A Documentary like this can change your perspective of our world.
