Weaving together natural history and biography, A LIFE AMONG WHALES is a fascinating exploration into the unique relationship between humans and whales, as told by renowned marine biologist, bio-acoustician and activist Dr. Roger Payne. For four decades Payne has advanced the boundaries of science and environmental activism - from his pioneering work on whale vocalizations in the 1970 bestselling album "Songs of the Humpback Whale" to continued his study of ocean pollution today. With hauntingly beautiful imagery, this film forces us to question our stewardship of the Earth and our coexistence with some of its most majestic and intriguing creatures.
