CINEMATOGRAPHER

The Last Walrus

A whistleblower is sued for $1.5 million for plotting to steal a walrus and falls down the rabbit hole of a personal quest at the heart of a blistering movement to end marine mammal captivity.

 

Filmmaker Nathalie Bibeau explores an impassioned debate about how — and whether — to hold marine mammals in human care. With trusted access to opposing perspectives, Bibeau returns to her hometown near Niagara Falls, Ont., and to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, to investigate some of the biggest controversies surrounding animal captivity in Canada.
