HUMPBACK WHALES – A DETECTIVE STORY

On the 12th September 2015, a 30-ton humpback whale breached and landed on Tom Mustill his friend Charlotte Kinloch as they paddled a sea kayak in Monterey Bay, California. Incredibly, both survived the incident, but the near-death experience haunted documentary maker Tom and left him wondering if the whale was deliberately trying to hurt them. To find the answer, Tom returned to California in 2018 to investigate. What he discovers raises far bigger questions, not just about what happened that day but also about our relationship with whales and their future alongside us.
