THE WHALE AND THE RAVEN
Deutschland, Kanada 2019 – Director: Mirjam Leuze – Original with English subtitles, including Q&A – Length: 101 min.
The remaining residents of the First Nation settlement on Canada’s rough west coast have a profound relationship with nature, in particular whales. Two researchers, Janie Wray and Hermann Meuter, share the spirituality of the indigenous people. A moving filmic message from whales to humans.
We present the world premiere of the film at DOK.fest München 2019.
