6) Grey Whales with Christopher Reeve:
We follow Hollywood actor Christopher Reeve out in the wild where he gets up close and personal with an animal that has always fascinated him- the grey whale! The film follows the whales’complete migratory trip, starting as they head north to the Arctic and the rich feeding ground where they put on 5000 kilos in weight to nourish their calves. When the autumn storms begin, the whales head south running the gauntlet of the killer whales off Vancouver Island. Unlike the killers, gray whales do not have echo location and are in great danger. At one point a whale comes close to Reeve in his boat. So close he touched her. She inspected him, parked her new born baby by his boat and went off to feed. Christopher Reeve found himself with a week old gray whale to look after. Reeve stared straight into the eye of a whale - curious, wise, friendly and absolutely unforgettable.
