Synopsis

Whaling is internationally prohibited. Yet whales are still hunted in Europe. Why is this? After years of research, filmmaker Michael Nieberg managed to capture a Norwegian whaling ship with his camera. He spares the viewer the bloodiest images, but shows how whaling works and the interests behind it. The author takes neither the side of the whale conservationists nor the whalers, but instead attempts to present a neutral picture of the current whaling situation in Europe, even taking a look at Iceland. Can maybe tourism help to save the whales?
