When the government attempts to transport an orca whale across Canada to join his pod, a First Nation tribe who believe the whale embodies the spirit of their dead leader fight to keep him.
A lone killer whale helps an entire community find their way home. Luna, an orphaned whale becomes the center of a controversy in a small coastal town when a government official is sent to capture it and return it to its pod. The community bands together under the leadership of the local chief to protect the stray whale and let it live freely in the bay. Inspired by a true story, “Luna: Spirit of the Whale” is a tale of two cultures fighting over the freedom of one whale.
“A very nice movie. One that reminds you that you should never forget who you really are. Nothing about this movie was predictable.” – Rotten Tomatoes
“An inspiring story about a culture which, united, protects a killer whale in the bay. This is not just a story about a whale but also one of personal change and growth.” – Dove.org
“A fine, decent movie! The elements of Native American culture were incorporated in a reverent and respectful way, while also being educational and insightful.” – 18 Cinema Lane
