Darßer NaturfilmFestival 2025: Program section "Beacon"
The return of the humpback whales.
Over the past 20 years, more and more humpback whales have been returning to the coast of British Columbia - and with them the sea otters, algae forests and other sea creatures. The strait between Vancouver Island and the Canadian mainland reveals a unique coexistence of animals and people who are committed to a sustainable approach to nature. They show how positively this commitment can make itself felt within a very short time and how new life can emerge.
