A stellar cast, including Adam Beach, Graham Greene and Tantoo Cardinal, bring this film (based on a true story) to life. What happens when the spiritual beliefs and needs of a people run up against the scientific interests of a government entity? While dealing with a serious issue, the film also has many warm and light-hearted moments, especially those involving flashbacks of a young Mike with his father (played with serenity by Gerald Auger). This is a film that parents can watch with their children without the fear of violence, nudity, sex or foul language.
This is a movie that not a lot of people have heard of. But, seeing as I have a huge love for orcas I found this movie. I watched it and it was not what I was expecting. It is very different from the other orca movies out there. It does not focus completely on the whale. It has another side to the story, which I liked. It also is a true story and part of history. It is done well and I think that it is something that people should watch.
This is a Very good, entertaining Family Movie based on a true story I believe. An Indian reservation tries to preserve the Whales in their area despite many odds & crooked bureaucracy, also gives insight into the spiritual Indian Culture & their belief. I always enjoy Graham Greene,he is an outstanding actor!
I purchased this dvd after I heard about it from my employer. Once I heard about it, I recalled an article about this specific whale I had read approximately 3-4 years ago. The movie itself follows closely the information I had. I think anyone who views this with an open mind will learn a little more about the native people and their beliefs from this particular area of what is known as North American. I recommend this movie.
I can't tell you about the movie it was a gift for another person. According to them it was a great movie. They enjoyed it very much. I may have to borrow it and watch the movie.
