THE RIGHT WHALE
Directed by Nick Dean and Cheryl Holmen Dean
Written by Mark Fletcher, Nick Dean and Cheryl Holmen Dean
USA, 2025, 53 Minutes
The Right Whale is an intimate and visually stunning documentary that follows the lives of right whales across the globe, from the icy waters of New Zealand and Argentina to the busy coastlines of North America. Through groundbreaking science and emotional storytelling, we meet individual whales like Bill, who swims from New Zealand to Antarctica and back, and Ruffian, rescued from deadly fishing gear.
Filmed over 7 years, The Right Whale features dramatic original footage of rare whale behavior. For the first time scientists witness a mother simultaneously nursing two calves in Australian waters. Intimate moments between mothers and their young, including a suckling rare white calf, are seen along Argentina’s coast.
