The Whaler
Directed by Philippe Blanc2023 50m
In 2022 Iceland killed 160 Fin whales, the second largest animal in the world, despite the international whaling commission (IWC) deeming it an endangered species and banning its hunting worldwide. This documentary delves into the violations of international regulations, ghost ships and omertà behind a lucrative business aimed at Japan, which still utilises archaic and cruel methods of hunting these majestic creatures.
