Grindadráp | Sea Shepherd

For five weeks, I have been with Sea Shepherd – using my video skills to help stop the cruel tradition of the Grindadráp in the Faroe Islands. During this time, I witnessed two grinds, and it was unbelievable to see that this practice is still happening so regularly in 2025. Documenting this bloody tradition once again reminded me where my passion lies: I want to point out the things that are not right in our world. I want to make the invisible – visible.

I was honored to work alongside an amazing team in the Faroes – people who truly share the same passion as I do.

If you want to help end this tradition, visit stopthegrind.org. You can sign petitions and help raise awareness that this practice is still happening in Europe. Also, support Sea Shepherd – they made it possible for us to be there in time and document every single moment.
