In a new documentary, "Linda Thornton: Seeking Sustainability, One Shrimp at a Time," a team of Pace University student filmmakers explore the life of a resilient, pioneering aquaculture entrepreneur as she pushes the frontiers of sustainable shrimp farming in Belize.

This new short film, shot by a team of undergraduate and graduate students in Dr. Maria Luskay's award-winning "Producing the Documentary" course, explores the life of a resilient, pioneering aquaculture entrepreneur as she pushes the frontiers of sustainable shrimp farming in Belize.

Helping with this year's production was New York Times Dot Earth blogger Andrew Revkin, Senior Fellow for Environmental Understanding at the Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies.

  • I thought the piece moved very well... Thornton is one incredible woman, a true Phoenix rising up from adversity only to shine brighter than before.

    the piece really covered the topic well from a local level thru its global impact. Thornton's interest in the future of aquaponics has obviously set you up for a sequel!
