"Whale Wisdom - A Mother Humpback's View"

A mother humpback whale rests below while her calf ascends to the
surface and explores the wonders of this strange new world. She
offers her calf encouragement and assurance, but also warns of
dangers to come. She recounts how commercial whaling all but wiped
out their species and how even now, over 20 years since the ban on
commercial whaling, the killing continues. Will her calf be next?
Though commercial whaling was banned by the IWC in 1986, over
25,000 whales have been commercially hunted since then. This is an
incredibly controversial subject and one which often stalls in
political, racial and cultural debates. Whale Wisdom transcends
these debates and offers a fresh take on the issue, a mother whales
perspective. The political and cultural disagreements are not
her concern. Her only worry is that her child and their
species have a future in the Oceans. To learn more about this film
