Winner: Vancouver International Film Festival Environmental Film Audience Award
Tears were shed for sharks in Sharkwater, dolphins in The Cove, and the film At the Edge of the World provides an opportunity to feel wretched for whales. Volunteers crusade north with a film crew following Japanese whaling ships responsible for over 1000 whale deaths per year. Ambiguities in the law and jurisdictions allow whaling to continue, leaving activists as the last hope. It is a dangerous cause to defend. Protesting with signs is a luxury in city streets, but the desperate situation on the open ocean turns into a dangerous battle.
