Documentary Details
The Right Whale: Tales of Resilience and Hope is an intimate and visually stunning documentary that follows the dramatic lives of right whales across the globe—from the icy waters of New Zealand and Argentina to the busy coastlines of North America. Through groundbreaking science and emotional storytelling, we meet individual whales like Bill, who swims from New Zealand to Antarctica and back as well as Ruffian—a whale rescued from deadly fishing gear.
While southern right whales show signs of recovery, their northern cousins face mounting threats from ship strikes, entanglement and industrial noise. Filmed in collaboration with scientists,The Right Whale: Tales of Resilience and Hope is both a celebration of resilience and a powerful call to action—revealing the intelligence, grace and vulnerability of these magnificent creatures—an urgent need to protect them.
Why The Right Whales Need Us
With fewer than 400 remaining, the North Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered whales on Earth. None die of old age. They face life-threatening risks every day from ship strikes and entanglement in commercial fishing gear—threats that we have the power to reduce. Their survival is tied to the health of the ocean itself; their loss would echo across entire marine ecosystems.
