About the film:
Blue Whales: Return of the Giants takes viewers on a journey of a lifetime to explore the world of the magnificent blue whale, a species rebounding from the brink of extinction. Following two scientific expeditions - one to find a missing population of blues off the exotic Seychelles Islands, the other to chronicle whale families in Mexico's stunning Gulf of California - the film is an inspirational story that transforms our understanding of the largest animal ever to have lived.
