Anti-Whaling 4-part-series to come to WILD TIME

Almost six hours of footage are being aired over a 4-week-period to highlight the plight of the whales and other cetaceans.

We will look at numerous angles e.g. historical, social and political reasons behind whaling as well as connecting to courageous activists from around the globe.



01) Monday, November 22nd 2010 – Part I will air footage recorded during the anti whaling day protest in London (UK). The footage includes many great and compassionate interviews with attendees.

03) Monday, December 6th 2010 – Part III will feature an interview with Judith Wouters, whose 120 page dissertation about whaling in Japan provides powerful clues as to how to attempt to change the situation. WILD TIME also spoke to stilts walker Maria Heidemann (pictured), who attended the protest in Duesseldorf (Germany). Maria is currently involved in making a documentary about dolphins. She also received a special mention award for her short movie “Don Justo” by no other than actor Rutger Hauer.
