Whale, The
Human Interest

An extraordinary, true story of contact between species, The Whale, narrated by Ryan Reynolds, is a classic combination of star power and grassroots heart.

When a young male orca, nicknamed Luna, loses contact with his family in a fjord on the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island, he overthrows the established order of humans versus everything else with his determination to make friends with people. Through his life among us, he challenges all our preconceptions, from politics to science to the spirit, even making us rethink our most fundamental ideas about the nature of love and friendship.

Filled with laughter, amazement, tears, and drama, The Whale is a life-affirming film with demonstrated appeal to all audiences.
