A Life Among Whales

Directed by Bill Haney and Eric Grunebaum

This fascinating exploration into the life and work of whale biologist and activist Roger Payne charts his electrifying discovery in the early 1970s that whales sing "songs" and helped ignite the modern day environmental movement. Payne's pioneering spirit has consistently advanced the boundaries of science over the last four decades, beginning with his early scientific research in Patagonia where with his wife and four yougn children, he lived in tents on a remote bay for two years. It explores Payne's tireless and passionate fight to ban whaling—a ban in which today is threatened—and follows him to his present day study of ocean pollution.
