Documentary.
Narrator, F. Murray Abraham.
In Hawaii, a baby humpback enters the world and joins the 3,000 or more whales that congregate in the warm waters off Hawaii each winter to mate and give birth. This is the story of her first year of life. Over twelve months she will learn many skills from her mother, and eventually they will make the several-thousand-mile journey together to Alaska's southeast coast. Though fiercely competitive during the breeding season in Hawaii, the whales cooperate in Alaska, working in teams to gather food in the most efficient way possible. She has one year to learn all the subtleties of whale society before she is left by her mother to continue her education on her own.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Extraordinary, especially for a TV production submitted by vk on January 18, 2011, 9:09pm This is one episode, 55-min long, in the acclaimed Nature series on public television. It tells the story of what we currently, circa 2008, know about the first-year life cycle of humpback whales -- from breeding in Hawaii in the winter to feeding in Alaska in the summer and back. The over- and underwater photography is extraordinary, without drawing attention to itself -- unlike the gee-whiz large-format productions, e.g., the 1997 IMAX "Whales: an unforgettable journey".

Loved it! submitted by yufamily on July 29, 2019, 9:13pm Awesome and beautifully shot
