Orcas. They are the undisputed rulers of the oceans. These fascinating marine mammals captivate people not only with their imposing appearance, but also with their extraordinary intelligence and complex family bonds. Yet since their attacks on boats, these animals have fallen into disrepute. Marine biologist and wildlife filmmaker Florian Graner sets out to uncover the true nature of these majestic animals. In the Salish Sea, off the coast of British Columbia and Washington, he lives among what are likely the most extensively studied orcas in the world. Using state-of-the-art drone technology, he captures spectacular aerial footage that offers us intimate and rare insights into the whales’ family life: from teaching the young to hunt, to mating behavior, to communication through vocalizations.
