Coextinction is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Gloria Pancrazi and Elena Jean and released in 2021.[1] The film centres on the environmental threat to orcas in the Pacific Ocean, caused in part by the simultaneous decline of Pacific salmon stocks that the orcas depend on for food.[2]

The film premiered on October 3, 2021 at the 2021 Vancouver International Film Festival,[3] where it was named the winner of the Rob Stewart Eco Warrior Award.[4]

Nicholas Castel, Gabriel Swift, Bronson Whytcross and John Fulton received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Cinematography in a Documentary at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022.[5]
