Trailer Whale Like Me The Film: Who is Saving Who?
Geschreven op 31-7-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Dieren
For decades, people from around the world worked tirelessly to protect whales, eventually resulting in a ban on commercial whaling in 1986.
Much of that hard work is being undone, and world leaders now appear poised to lift the ban. They claim there will be strict limits on commercial whaling, but humans have a terrible track record of enforcing limits on the exploitation of our oceans. Conservationists rightly believe we may be opening the floodgates to the slaughtering of whales.
Friends Japanese Hideki Fuji and African American Malcolm Wright go head to head in a hardball exchange of challenges surrounding the controversy of Japanese whaling. Together, they peel away the propaganda from both sides to reveal the facts. The dares climax when committed conservationist Malcolm Wright agrees to spend a week working with a Japanese whaling family, experiences the reality of their day-to-day life, and witnesses the grenade-harpooning of a Baird’s whale.
In return, the whaling family is flown to the Cook Islands, as guests of a non-lethal whale research project. Under the watchful gaze of Rarotonga’s twin volcanic peaks, they experience the bond between a newborn calf and its mother. Underwater, stripped of their ships, harpoons, and their assumptions about whales, they come face to face with the gentle giants. Source: Whale Like Me

Whale Like Me – The Movement Whale Like Me is YOUR film, take it and make it your own: you will propel a movement to end commercial whaling once and for all. It starts with getting involved now, as the film is being made: follow our progress, spread the word, give us feedback, become a producer by offering funding within your means.
The second and third phases of the movement will be revealed once we have completed principal photography – we are dying to tell you about them but success requires good timing! We can say this: Phase Two is a lot of fun as the discovery and adventure come to you. Phase Three will tickle your sense of poetic justice and bring the end of commercial whaling within sight.
