Listening To Whales

Release: Early 2025
Director(s): Grace McNally

PROJECT TYPE: Feature Documentary

PRODUCTION COMPANIES: An Explorers Club/Plimsoll/Sam Houston co-production

PRODUCERS ATTACHED: Austin Raywood & Steven Jon Whritner

LOGLINE: In 1970, 33,000 whales a year were being slaughtered by commercial whalers. They were seen as large, dumb creatures – a source of cheap meat and oil. Then in the summer of 1970 an album of whale songs, Songs of the Humpback Whale, was released. The album sold over 125,000 copies and went multi-platinum. Beautiful and haunting, Songs of the Humpback Whale changed the way the public perceived animal consciousness. It inspired a global movement, led to the foundation of Greenpeace and saved whale populations from the brink of extinction. Listening to Whales tells the intertwining stories of two pioneering scientists who created this moment, and the fallout that echoed across decades.
