Swimming with Humpback Whale

The 8K ultra-high-definition ecological documentary "Swimming with Humpback Whale" was filmed by the former NHK Japanese photographer Hiroyuki Nakagawasai who was commissioned by the Delta Foundation and traveled to the equatorial Kingdom of Tonga and Okinawa.  With 8K high resolution, viewers can take a close look into the whales when they give birth and nurse their calves.
By learning about the life of humpback whales, it is hoped that the film will convey carbon capture potential of whales, which will help alleviate the global warming crisis and arouse the public's attention to marine ecology conservation as well.
