Whales

Alternate Title(s): Whales: An Unforgettable Journey

Meet blue, orca, white whales and dolphins while following the humpbacks in their annual cycles of feast and famine as they travel thousands of miles from the krill blooms off the frigid coast of Alaska to calve in the warm waters of Hawaii. Featuring spectacular underwater footage of mothers, calves and escorts, WHALES reveals many little-known aspects of these elusive creatures and celebrates the music, play and incredible strength of the earth’s largest inhabitants.
