| Summary |
A compelling personal story about the highs and lows of a life dedicated to studying Risso's dolphins. Karin Hartman has dedicated her life to studying the unknown Risso's dolphin in the Azores. This documentary film contains spectacular underwater and and drone shots and unravels the special behaviour of these dolphins. It explains how males form stable groups while females with calves form nurseries and why male politics are crucial for reproduction. It also reflects on the impact of whale watching, why commercial swimming with these dolphins should be banned, and why this area is important in Europe and should be designated as a Marine Protected Area. |
