A remarkable and truly inspirational film that speaks to the common bond we all share as human beings from our most ancie
nt beginnings as we awaken together to change the dream for our collective future. It's an extraordinary experience.

With breathtaking cinematography, the story follows the Aborginal tribe of the Mirning in Australia on a powerful journey, assisted by indigenous elders from around the world, to reconnect with their Sacred Earth and their spirit animals, the whales.

For director Kim Kindersley (third from right in photo), the film was more than 10 years in the making and culminated in 1998, as 85 tribal elders from around the world came together at Whale Rock in South Australia to share their traditions, stories, and spirituality over a seven-day celebration of cultures and nature. Intertwining incredible underwater footage with ancient legend, Whaledreamers examines the complex past and the possibly dire future of human civilization.

Personally, I must say that Whaledreamers is a rare and magical film that goes beyond its medium to become a deeply touching and moving experiential film that can be felt on a profound level.
