FHFF – The Whale
Posted February 26, 2014 at 5:46 am by Tim Dustrude
What’s up next at the Friday Harbor Film Festival’s “Tuesday Night Films” screening?…
This film tells the captivating, true story of a wild orca named Luna, who somehow got separated from his family off the west coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. He turned up alone in Nootka Sound, a narrow stretch of sea between mountains. Because orcas live in tight-knit family groups and are clearly social animals, one who gets separated from family usually dies. Without familiar orcas nearby, Luna sought out the attention of people in boats and on the shore.
As rambunctious and surprising as a visitor from another planet, Luna endeared himself to humans with his determination to make contact, leading to laughter, conflict and unexpected consequences.
