FILM ~ The Seal Who Came Home

Event has passed

The Camden Opera House in partnership with MPBN and with the support of the Goodridge family will present for the second year in a row the PBS documentary "The Seal Who Came Home".   This heartwarming and unusual documentary depicts Andre's  25 years spent living in Rockport with the Goodridge family   Last year's showing was a community gathering and special evening.    If you missed it last year, this is your chance!
Andre was a harbor seal found as a pup by Harry Goodridge in 1961 in the waters off Rockport, near Robinson's Rock.  Harry raised Andre, who lived for 25 years in both wild and human worlds, gaining love and admiration from people all over the world.
The 50 minute film, The Seal Who Came Home, is the final episode in an original series by MPBN titled My Wild Affair.  The film shows the challenges, responsibilities and rewards of raising a wild animal as a pet and includes actual footage, photographs, and interviews with people who were close to Andre throughout his life.
The presentation is free to the public on a first- come first- serve basis.  Doors will open at 6:30 pm; the film will begin promptly at 7:30 pm. As we did last year, the audience is welcome to remain after the film to share stories of their own personal memories of Andre
