The whaler

A new, compelling documentary about the illegal hunt of whales in Iceland. The documentary tells us why Iceland reopened to whaling after a long stop, the costs of this trade, the danger of an extinction and for our ecosystem, the illegality in which many people act, and a wall of silence which surrounds this activity. All of this is told through beautiful landscapes, emotional filming, and awesome whales images.
