Trade Secret
Big Screen Premiere
When
Tue 24 Feb 2026
Join us in the cinema for the Victorian premiere of the new documentary that shines a light on the existential threats to polar bears.
Trade Secret follows three unlikely allies on a mission to protect polar bears from international commercial trade. Filmed over six years across nine countries, the film exposes the sanctioned sale of hundreds of polar bears each year on the global market.
Taking audiences inside secret auction houses, closed-door political summits and hidden salesrooms, the film reveals a shocking reality: polar bears - the ultimate symbol of our climate crisis - are still being legally hunted and traded today.
Trade Secret will be available to stream on Docplay from Monday 23 February. Join us in the cinema for a very special screening.
