North Atlantic right whales are dying faster than they can reproduce. With just over 330 remaining, these great whales rarely die of natural causes. Instead they are run over by ships or suffer lethal injuries from fishing gear. With unprecedented access to film the right whale migration from their calving ground off the coast of Florida to their shifting feeding grounds in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Last of the Right Whales brings a message of hope about a great whale on the brink of extinction. Featuring breathtaking footage of the majestic but rarely seen North Atlantic right whale – as observed through the eyes of scientists, photographers, rescuers and fishermen - we bear witness to their struggle and bring hope for their survival.
