NATURE: The Whale Detective In September 2015, a 30-ton humpback whale breached and just missed landing on wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill and his friend Charlotte Kinloch as they kayaked in Monterey Bay, California. Both survived the incident, but the traumatic experience haunted Mustill (Giraffes: Africa's Gentle Giants) and left him wondering if the whale was deliberately trying to hurt them or trying its best not to. To find the answer, Mustill returns to California to investigate, meeting with whale experts and those who have survived similar close encounters. What he discovers raises far bigger questions, not just about what happened that day, but also about humans' relationship with whales and their future.

Review by Claire on 07/17/20 review stating Amazing!
Having just watched this on PBS, I had to have the DVD to watch over and over again. As long as I can remember, Ive had a love of these marvelous animals and have several whale DVDs. My daughter took me whale watching when I was in California visiting. It was an incredible experience, never to be forgotten. I have thought I had a fairly good knowledge of humpbacks....I was wrong. This production showed me facts Id never before dreamed of.
