3 Feet Under

U.S.A./58 mins.

Synopsis: Available in both 58-min and 63-min format. It sports a phallic neck three feet long and a life span of 160-plus years. It’s the world’s largest burrowing clam. It's jokingly referred to as the Washington State Bird. Devotees sing songs, design dolls, and trade folklore about the burrowing bivalve. Environmentalists beam about its ocean-cleansing siphoning powers. Diners in Hong Kong restaurants pay more than $100 a plate for imported geoduck.

3 FEET UNDER explores how the geoduck (“gooey duck”) has garnered a devoted following in the Pacific Northwest over the past century. We follow biologists, marine divers, environmentalists, and Jack, a long-time Seattleite who was raised in a kosher Brooklyn home, as he prepares for his annual geoduck dig. Jack provides insights into his transformation into a seasoned Pacific Northwesterner and connoisseur of the King of Clams.
