On the misty shores of the Pacific Northwest, SeaLegacy founders Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier follow Oceans Initiative as they work to save a critically endangered population of orcas. Their research uncovers the threats these whales face and the solutions that could give them a fighting chance. Along the way, the film explores how a childhood love for the ocean has guided the lives of the Oceans Initiative team, from their careers to their families, and how this work extends far beyond the shores they call home.
