A fascinating exploration into the life and work of whale biologist and activist Roger Payne.

Weaving together natural history and biography, A LIFE AMONG WHALES delves deeply into the unique relationship between humans and whales as told by renowned whale biologist and activist Dr. Roger Payne. For four decades Payne has advanced the boundaries of science and activism beginning with his pioneering work on whale songs in the 1970s to his study of ocean pollution today. With beautiful and haunting imagery, the film forces us to question our stewardship of the Earth and our coexistence with some of its most intriguing creatures.

With bonus features including theatrical trailers, short featurette 'Lethal Sounds' by Pierce Brosnan, exclusive interviews with Roger Payne and Director Bill Haney, and much much more!
