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.

this review is from: A Life Among Whales (ON DEMAND)
Life Among Whales achieves everything it set out to and does so with a great formula. With just the right among of graphic scenes, scientific information, thought-provoking arguments, and general tape of actual whales this documentary sings beautifully on the idea of saving this great species.
The narration was excellent and while listening you felt a genuine attachment to whale-kind that in turn makes you (the audience) want to engage in that attachment.
Overall, again, this film achieves everything. I will be looking more into what I myself can do to help this cause after viewing this film.
